In Kansas City, an Arts Center Makes a Debut

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Mo., was designed by Moshe Safdie.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As arts organizations from one coast to the other wrestle with cuts in grants and declines in ticket sales, an ambitious new performing arts center in the middle of the country is defying the trend.

Donna Thomason is putting on an event in the new center Nov. 3 and stopped by to get the lay of the land.
The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, a $326 million concrete-and-glass clamshell overlooking downtown, will open Friday. It was designed by the prominent architect Moshe Safdie and paid for with private donations.

The building, people here say, reflects the willingness of Kansas City residents to open their wallets if it means raising the national profile of the city’s arts scene.

The opening, which will include a performance by Plácido Domingo, has captured attention elsewhere, too, given these lean times. Michael M. Kaiser, president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, said the Kansas City structure, with an 1,800-seat theater for the ballet and opera companies and a 1,600-seat concert hall for the symphony, reflected an investment unseen of late in far larger cities.

“At a time when the arts are really challenged to find private funding, and when certainly governments are cutting back funding, to have a city that to most of the rest of the country isn’t known as the arts capital of America put such much emphasis on funding the arts is really unusual,” said Mr. Kaiser, who once led the ballet company here.

The project was seeded more than a decade ago with more than $100 million from the Kauffman family, one of a handful of wealthy local families who continue to exert considerable sway in the affairs of the city.

Though the donations slowed during the recession — 24 of 25 gifts of more than $1 million came before the downturn — community members would occasionally call to reiterate their support. “They would say, ‘I want to give but I have to wait and see,’ ” said Jane Chu, president of the center.

At one point, project leaders considered abandoning plans for two stages in favor of a single, multipurpose theater more common to a city this size, but decided that would compromise too much.

Instead the slowdown left its mark on the building’s final touches — modest ones that allowed it to come in on budget. “We really cut back on frivolous spending and streamlined it immensely,” said Julia I. Kauffman, who has led the project since the death of her mother, who first proposed the building.

Though the center was conceived in something of a boom period for such facilities, only a few such centers have opened in recent years.

“During the recession we saw a slowdown in capital campaigns,” said Randy I. Cohen, vice president of research and policy for Americans for the Arts, a national group. “Either they’ve taken longer, or they’ve been put on hold.”

Putting up the building during hard times without public help — though the city paid for the $47 million parking lot on the grounds — is a point of pride in a city that celebrates its routine standing near the top of lists of most philanthropic cities.

The building has also renewed hopes for a downtown that remains sleepy despite extensive redevelopment, including a new arena.

“This has been a very supportive arts community for a long time,” said Jeffrey J. Bentley, executive director of the ballet company, which just relocated into a $32 million building near the center. “But this is a coming-of-age moment for Kansas City.”

One worry for any new cultural facility now: Will the seats be filled for ballet, opera and symphony performances, or will there be an economic tug toward more lucrative shows? Center leaders say the early results seem promising. The pricey opening gala, with tickets starting at $500, is sold out. Already, they say, season subscriptions have increased substantially.
