Celebrating 30 Years of Impact
For 30 years, the Arts & Recreation Foundation of Overland Park (ARFOP) has enriched our community through art, nature, and recreation. As a nonprofit organization, we support treasured local spaces like Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead, the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, and public art initiatives.
Thanks to donors, volunteers, and community partners, we’ve helped create vibrant projects, interactive exhibits, and engaging events that connect people to nature, history, and the arts.
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we invite you to be part of our next chapter. Join us in shaping the future of art and recreation in Overland Park!
