The Bauer

The Bauer The Bauer is a 30,000 sq. ft., 3-story building nestled in the heart of the creative block of West 18th Street.
(304)

It provides space available to rent as artist studios, galleries, offices, retail space & an event space with an amazing view of downtown KC. The Bauer’s intent is to create a dynamic urban interaction between the surrounding community, artists and visitors to the Crossroads Arts District. Our goal is to create a space that includes artists of many disciplines, galleries and small businesses. The design aspires to take maximum advantage of the building’s assets of space, light and location.
