Are you looking to align your company with Kansas City’s vibrant arts community while receiving valuable business benefits? Look no further than the Kauffman Center’s Ensemble Business Membership program.

By choosing a membership level that fits your company’s needs, you’ll gain access to exclusive events and recognition opportunities that help your business thrive year-round. Plus, you’ll be supporting a vital part of Kansas City’s cultural landscape.
