Tribute to Arthur Kraft

Arthur Kraft was an American painter, sculptor, and muralist from Kansas City. The former Kansas City Board of Education building had an Arthur Kraft mosaic that was removed upon demolition of the building. The artist is using this as an opportunity to educate visitors to this heart about the importance of this historical figure in the landscape of contemporary Kansas City art.
