Get inside the minds of four diverse Kansas City-based artists as we explore the inner-workings of their creative souls. Work in Progress celebrates the process of art — its creation and its creator — rather than the finished project.

There are those who are driven by purpose and those who are driven by chaos, and each piece of this 4-part series and broadcast documentary lets us hear from the artists in their own words.

Watch the video series on flatlandkc.local beginning July 11, and as a 30-minute film at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9 on KCPT. 

Reading these stories is free, but telling them is not. Start your monthly gift now to support Flatland’s community-focused reporting.
