Arts Bridge

The Arts Bridge program connects access with opportunity. By using Starlight as a community space, arts organizations and nonprofits have the opportunity to host free events, performances, town halls, festivals, workshops, and symposiums at our venue. 

Past events include: 

The Variety KC Family Sweetheart Dance, an all-abilities, inclusive event for families and children featuring dancing, games, and friends. 

UMKC Center for Neighborhoods Night at Starlight, held annually to celebrate our neighbors and connect with one another.  

free performance by Alvin Ailey Trio to share Alvin Ailey’s vision and legacy with dance students, enthusiasts, and community members.
