Blue Gallery is hands down the best place to find the best artist in town. Kelly and her team from start to finish walk you through the curation process. They frequently have their artists available at first Fridays too!

One of the best galleries and definitely my favorite. There are always plenty of choices from various artists…a very well curated mix. And, the owners are delightful.

Blue Gallery is a hug of inspiring, thoughtfully curated art and artists. I’m always finding pieces that continue to move me long after they’re placed in my home.

I especially love December’s Wonderwall exhibition and their print shop if you’re looking for art on a budget. They also offer layaway, which I used once to purchase a larger piece. They truly care about making art accessible to all. The founder, Kelly, also represents several local and female artists, which I love.

If you’re looking for art that will reflect your own beauty back to you, stop into Blue today.

The Blue Gallery is, hands down, one of the best galleries not only in Kansas City, but just about anywhere. I have been lucky enough to acquire several pieces from them and still love seeing them in my home everyday. Their holiday Wonder Wall is the best place to shop for gifts for the holidays (I always get something for my daughter). The owners are just about the kindest people you will ever meet and they have a gift of making you feel welcome and at ease in the prettiest space in the downtown Crossroads neighborhood; truly, the loveliest people to work with.

Blue Gallery is incredible! I purchased my very first original artwork through Kelly 20 years ago and, to this day, am still in love with it and the many other pieces I’ve purchased through the gallery. Kelly and her team go above and beyond to ensure your visit is comfortable, fun, and engaging—whether you’re just looking around or ready to buy. I trust them completely when it comes to art. They know art and artists. Their support of their artists, as well as their commitment to Kansas City’s arts community, sets them apart. They’re transparent and authentic always posting their pricing—not all galleries do this. Kelly and her team are genuinely committed to listening. They know and appreciate that the art we collect is an expression of ourselves so they’re more than willing to spend the time it takes to make sure you and the art connect. When it comes to installation, Kelly is THE master. Since I buy art I love rather than trying to find pieces that match a décor, I have a very eclectic collection. I couldn’t imagine how she was going to pull it all together. But she did!!! Investing in her expertise was worth every single cent. I’m so in love with it I haven’t moved a single piece. I absolutely LOVE this gallery!!!

Our experience with Blue Gallery was perfection. Kelly and David helped us find an absolutely perfect painting for our space. We looked for a long time and never felt pressured. They listened to our needs, contacted the artist and collaborated to get us a beautiful painting. Blue Gallery is our favorite gallery in KC!

Blue Gallery deserves a 10-star rating! Kelly, David and Shannon make art as a whole, and the art gallery experience, exciting, friendly and accessible, regardless of whether you are just browsing or buying a major investment piece. Unlike a lot of galleries, the inventory and pricing is transparent, and Kelly & team go above and beyond to make your visit to the gallery an incredibly positive experience - whether that is taking a piece on approval, installation or layaway - the goal is to make everyone fall in love with art and the joy it can bring to your everyday life and help you invest it in in whatever way your budget allows. Even years later, my pieces still make me smile every time I walk past them and half of that joy is working with Kelly & team learning about the artist and the piece, and thinking about not only how exciting it was to acquire a piece, but also how excited Kelly, David and Shannon are for you as the buyer. The team also goes above and beyond to help you secure a piece by your "dream artist" that is not represented by Blue Gallery. Bottom line - if you want art in your life Blue Gallery will do whatever it takes to help you get it. Love, love, love the gallery, the team, and everything that Blue Gallery is doing for Kansas City.

Kelly Kuhn owner of Blue Gallery really knows her stuff!
She has not only sold me amazing art but has helped me to curate and hang my entire collection in my home and my office.
I was intimidated by buying art before meeting Kelly. Her policy of inclusivity helped alleviate my fears and has given me an amazing collection that stands the test of time.
