Because avant-garde art and architecture are giving the Great Plains a new edge. When the small but striking Kyu Sung Woo–designed Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art recently held its opening gala in Overland Park, 13 miles from downtown Kansas City, the sight of New York’s art-world luminaries descending en masse on the heartland surprised no one. This was, after all, just the latest addition to the Kansas City area’s buzzing art scene, which in the last couple of years has witnessed Stephen Holl’s addition to the city’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (just across the border in Missouri) and the transformation of the Crossroads district into a gallery-filled square mile. It’s all enough to make you feel like you’re not in Kansas (City) anymore.
