With 25 unique pairings selected from Legendary Voices: Art for the Next Century, we are thrilled to officially launch our Adopt a Work of Art program. This exclusive opportunity allows you to adopt a grouping of two to three iconic works from the KIA’s remarkable collection, playing a direct role in preserving and supporting these important pieces for future generations.

As a sponsor, your name will be proudly displayed on the label of the adopted artworks, and you will be recognized at our Centennial: REMIX on April 11, 2025. Additionally, you will receive two complimentary tickets to this exclusive celebration, where we will honor both the legacy and the exciting future of the KIA.

Become a Legendary Voice by adopting your favorite works from the catalog for $1,000 per pairing. Your generous contributions help care for our permanent collection.
