It’s time for the SAGKC Winter Walk! For 2025 it’s at the Nelson-Atkins or, if you prefer the outdoors, at the grounds of the Nelson and Discovery Center area. Meet us by 10 am at the Museum Store inside from the garage.

There are several shows to see at the Nelson including Monet in Conversation, Hokusai: Masterpieces from local museums, 2024 Charlotte Street Visual Artist Awards, and more. Another option for contemporary art is to visit the Kemper Museum on the west side of the Art Institute, just a short walk across the lawn.

If you’re more of an outdoor person, the grounds of the Nelson are always lovely, dotted with sculptures in the lawn and wooded areas. At the Discovery Center you can see native plants and perhaps some wildlife along a delightful trail through the woods and around a small lake. The Brush Creek trail is nearby as is the Kauffman Garden and Theis Park. Lots of options for walking!

At noon, we’ll meet for lunch at the Rozelle Court in the Nelson-Atkins

So that we’ll know you’re coming, please RSVP at scandinaviakc@gmail.com
