Lyric Opera Hosts Fringe Festival

If you didn’t catch The Kansas City Star on Sunday, you probably didn’t read about the upcoming Fringe Festival, opening on Thursday, July 19th, in which the Lyric Opera of Kansas City is proud to be participating in this year as a host venue.  The Company’s rehearsal hall in the Production Arts Building will be host to a couple of different performances during the 10 day festival.  Click below to read the article.

Some Generosity for the Arts

The Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City announced that it has raised just under $400,000 through its ArtsKC Fund, a program that works with companies to raise funds from employees to support the arts in Kansas City (the Lyric Opera is a participating company).  Supporting the ArtsKC Fund helps to ensure the health and diversity of the arts community in the Kansas City metropolitan area.  Read more about the campaign in an article in The Kansas City Star.  The article mentions that the campaign didn’t quite reach its goal of $440,000, but donations will still be accepted through the end of June.  Click to learn how to support the ArtsKC Fund.
