In 1992, the first Beyond Bounds benefit was organized on behalf of the former JCCC Gallery of Art. Artists received a plain, white silk scarf and were asked to transform it for silent and live auctions. The event far exceeded our expectations!
Held biennially, Beyond Bounds has grown into one of Kansas City's most highly anticipated art events. To date, the event has raised more than $700,000 to support exhibitions, acquisitions and arts education programs at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art.
For the ninth event, we are inviting artists internationally, nationally and regionally to donate a work of art using unique mediums provided by the museum.
This year, we sought a word which best exemplifies artists -- their talent, their innovation and their extraordinary contributions to our lives. We chose BRILLIANT! And, the color yellow was selected to symbolize brilliance. Luminous, radiant, shining and ingenious -- all signify the word BRILLIANT!
