Hilliard Gallery, Kansas City

The Hilliard Gallery, a dynamic and ever-evolving art space, is a cornerstone of Kansas City’s vibrant art scene. Established in 1974 by Kent Hilliard, this gallery has grown from its origins in the scenic Country Club Plaza to its current location in the bustling Crossroads Arts District at 1820 McGee. With over four decades of commitment to contemporary art, the Hilliard Gallery stands as one of the oldest and largest fine art galleries in Kansas City.

Recognized as one of the top 25 galleries in the United States by The American Art Awards, and consistently voted the best gallery in Kansas City and Missouri, the Hilliard Gallery is celebrated for its eclectic mix of aesthetically pleasing artworks. It maintains a vast collection on-site and boasts direct working relationships with over 200 artists and their publishers. The gallery also offers custom framing services, ensuring that each piece is preserved with meticulous care and quality.

Throughout its history, the gallery has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, surviving challenges like the devastating Plaza flood of 1977 and the Hyatt hotel collapse that destroyed a satellite gallery. This adaptability extends to its role as the exclusive authorized dealer for LeRoy Neiman in the Kansas City area, a partnership that began in the gallery's early years.

Whether you’re seeking investment-quality art or pieces to enhance your interior design, the Hilliard Gallery provides a sophisticated and welcoming space where contemporary art thrives in Kansas City.
