#TBT all the way back to 1964! KCYA's original mission was to provide children, in Kansas City schools, an opportunity to see and hear classical music performances. Our organization has evolved quite a bit since those days! #kcya... #artseducation #artsed See more

"One of the most important things about the visual arts is the confidence the students will get by creating things on their own, using their own imagination. That's something they'll be able to use the rest of their lives, whether in business or to help them express their emotions and to express who they are and I'm here to teach them how to do that." --- Paige Ahlenius Congratulations Paige and thank you for all you do for children and the arts!

"When I think about the vision and the values that I have as an educator, its all really from my own personal experience. All the way back to my childhood. I had parents who were both musicians and artists and the opportunities I had as a kid, that is what I want to bring to every kid in Kansas City, Kansas." --- Jodie Lin Congratulations Jodie and thank you for all you do for children and the arts!
