On November 2, Kansas City Museum, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Mint Museum hosted an event at New York’s Bergdorf Goodman presented by the Wells Fargo Foundation to launch a Rizzoli Electa monograph by artist Summer Wheat and to announce JewelHouse—a monumental, site-responsive contemporary artwork and groundbreaking architectural intervention designed by Kansas City-based International Architects Atelier and Summer Wheat that will reimagine the Kansas City Museum’s former Beaux-Arts Conservatory. Youth programming for JewelHouse is in development through a collaboration between Kansas City Museum and Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
