Thanks for coming to Turn on the Heat! Chili Winner Announced! 
The heat is on at the Arts Incubator and it’s all because of the generous support of the Kansas City community of Turn on the Heat 2009. The event helped raise more than $31,000 to support the Arts Incubator and ensure that the emerging artists of Kansas City receive the support they need to create successful art businesses.
This year’s event was the biggest and best yet. More than 850 people met at the Arts Incubator to enjoy five kinds of live music, three performance artist groups, Salsa dancing lesson, lively conversation, delicious drinks and 25 different kinds of gourmet chili from Kansas City’s best culinary artists.
Congratulations to the 2009 Chili Cup Award winner, Moxie Catering and all of the art raffle winners.
The evening’s proceeds help sustain our mission within the community; namely, to keep emerging artists alive and well and working in the Greater Kansas City area. In fact, the Arts Incubator supports 47 artists with private studios; two galleries; administrative offices; and equipment for woodworking, ceramics, fiber arts, metalworking, photography and printmaking. They also provide professional and peer support so our members learn how to build sustainable and profitable careers in the arts.
Thank you again for the support of the Arts Incubator. We look forward to seeing you at Turn on the Heat 2010!
