art through architecture awards missouri bank gold level art archievement
Missouri Bank’s new Crossroads Branch, 125 Southwest Boulevard, is the first Kansas City area building project to gain “Art Achievement” status through Art through Architecture (AtA), a new program designed to encourage collecting and commissioning work by Kansas City area artists through architectural practice.
Among the building’s integrated art components is Golden Hedges, a multi-part, site-specific sculptural installation by Jesse Small. In addition, the building’s existing pair of double-sided billboards have been transformed into “The Artboards,” a highly visible new site for commissioned images by Kansas City area artists. Debuting with works by Kansas City based artists Warren Rosser and Jaimie Warren, these renovated and repurposed billboards will present newly commissioned artworks by Kansas City area artists every four months, produced as digital prints on ECO-flex, a new, “green” billboard material.
“Local artists have long been an important part of our customer base, and we are thrilled to include their work as an integral part of our Crossroads Branch,” said Grant Burcham, President of Missouri Bank. “The Art through Architecture program has helped us to do exactly what we wanted to do, without re-inventing the wheel.”
