Overland Park For Art Lovers

Art is everywhere in Overland Park.

From highly acclaimed contemporary art galleries and public murals to live music and live theatre, you’ll find an abundance of art in Overland Park to enjoy during your stay.

Art Galleries

Inside the sleek limestone exterior of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is an internationally acclaimed collection of emerging and established artists. Stroll through the museum’s two levels and you’ll visit 11 galleries of temporary exhibits and the museum’s permanent collection, which includes works in multiple mediums such as clay, new media, photography and sculpture.

If you love live theater, check the Johnson County Community College Performing Arts Series schedule and make a day of it on the beautiful campus.

Located in the Prairiefire district, The Eva Reynolds Fine Art Gallery is a hidden gem in Overland Park. Selected by the American Art Awards as the best gallery in Kansas and one of the top 25 galleries and museums in the United States, Eva Reynolds Art Gallery is more than a place to enjoy exhibits - it’s a celebration of the arts.

Arts in the Outdoors

Art doesn’t have to be in a museum! At the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, art and nature come together in the most delightful way.

Visit the nearly half-mile looped trail taking you through the International Sculpture Garden, then stop by the family favorite Train Garden, where kids and kids at heart can delight in a model recreation of historic downtown Overland Park.

Another must-see stop here for art lovers is the Monet Garden, carefully replicating the subtle soft colors and shapes typical of the original Monet gardens in Giverny, France. If you’re an artist yourself, this is the perfect place to bring a sketchbook.

You’ll find more public art in downtown Overland Park, like Instagram-worthy murals and public art installations at City Hall, Roe Park, and historic memorials.
