The Arts & Recreation Foundation of Overland Park is adapting to the new normal in 2021!
By planning to safely hold events and programs in 2021 according to the safety protocols in place at the time of each event, the Foundation and our “Friends” groups are continuing to work hard to make Overland Park a culturally inviting place to live, work and play. Check out all the fun and enriching activities planned for 2021 here on our website. We hope to see you at many of them!
If you are not yet comfortable participating, consider making a donation to ensure that our programs continue as our community navigates the challenges of the pandemic. We invite you to designate your gift for the program that is dearest to your heart – or make an unrestricted gift for use where needed most. Thank you!
For updates on the effects of the the current response to the coronavirus outbreak on the programs we support, please visit the City of Overland Park’s website.
Our sincere thanks also to the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission and Johnson County for awarding the Arts & Recreation Foundation with pandemic-relief grants. Each has been instrumental in helping us weather the storm!
