About this Event

Joe Bussell

Join us to hear about the different paths that Joe Bussell has taken to diversify his art practice in and outside of the studio. As a practicing artist and as a guest curator for exhibitions in the area as well as outside of Kansas City.


"In the process of making 2-D or 3-D art, I add what makes sense and subtract what doesn’t. That is a process that can take years or realized in a day. What I add or what I keep represents my history, dreams, memories, and personal aesthetic. I want the finished piece to finish the psychological loop and tell a complete story."


The Kansas City Artists Coalition Lecture Series “Open to the Public” is about bringing people together — artists, educators, and community members — to share ideas, spark creativity, and start meaningful conversations. Each event opens up space to explore how art, music, movement, and creative thinking connect us, inspire us, and shape the life of our city. Whether you make art or simply love being around it, these talks invite everyone to be part of Kansas City’s creative story.

Program Description: The Open to the Public lecture series explores creativity in its broadest sense — from visual art and performance to writing, music, movement, and social innovation. Each session highlights a distinctive voice contributing to Kansas City’s cultural landscape, encouraging attendees to think expansively about what creativity means today.

Format:

● 45-minute lecture or presentation

● 15-minute audience Q&A

● Followed by informal reception
