Humanities Kansas SEK

Specific Need

Southeast Kansas loves the humanities! In 2023, over 2,000 southeast Kansans engaged in 85 Humanities Kansas events, including the Hughes + Parks exhibit at the Gordon Parks Museum in Fort Scott, Linda O'Nelio Knoll's presentation of Army of Amazons: Women’s Fight for Labor Rights in Kansas Coalfields at Independence Public Library, and Jazz and Poetry with Poet Laureate Emeritus Kevin Rabas at Pittsburg State University. Help Humanities Kansas keep more of these opportunities to share the stories of southeast Kansas and spark conversations free and available to southeast Kansans with a donation on Match Day.

Mission

Humanities Kansas connects Kansans with stories, ideas, and each other to strengthen our communities.

Profile

Since our founding as an independent nonprofit in 1972, Humanities Kansas has been leading a movement of ideas. HK’s programming, grants, and partnerships document and share stories to spark conversations and invite new insights. Together with southeast Kansas partners and supporters, HK encourages southeast Kansans to draw on diverse histories, literatures, and cultures to strengthen our communities, our democracy, and our connections to one another.
