At 80 Santa Fe, we make discovering and collecting art welcoming, fun, and anything but pretentious.
Stop in, look around, ask questions, or just soak it in.
All are welcome.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or buying your first piece, we believe original art belongs in your life—not just in museums. Stop in, start a conversation, and discover something that speaks to you.
Forget what you think you know about collecting art. No pretense. No gallery snobbery. Just beautiful, original work from 300+ local artists—at prices that won't make you flinch.

Art isn't meant to stay flat.
Off the Wall celebrates artists who work in three dimensions—sculptors, mixed media makers, and creators who build with depth, texture, and presence. These pieces rise from surfaces, cast shadows, and shift as you move.

Some places you visit. Kansas City? You belong to it.
Rooted in KC celebrates what ties us to this place—our people, our history, our neighborhoods, our many cultures. The jazz legacy and the BBQ lines. The immigrant stories and the generational ones. The landmarks we're proud of and the corners only locals know.
This exhibition brings together artists who don't just capture Kansas City—they feel it. Expect warm portraits, vibrant street scenes, quiet landscapes, and bold abstractions. Work that makes you proud. Work that makes you nostalgic.
Work that makes you say, "Yeah. That's my city."
Art with roots. Deep ones.

Part of Art. Design. Storytelling. In Conversation. Rooted in KC will be part of an invitation-only gathering exploring how artists and designers capture the soul of a place. What makes Kansas City feel like Kansas City? How do we translate belonging, memory, and cultural identity into visual and spatial form? Artists, architects, urban planners, and creatives come together to reflect on how the places we love shape—and are shaped by—the people who call them home. (Invitation Only)

KC is hosting ████ ███████ ███ this summer. (Our lawyers made us do that.) Let's just say there's a globally significant soccer situation happening in KC this summer. Rhymes with "Shmeefa Shmorld Shup." If you know, you know.
And you know 80 Santa Fe Art Gallery will be celebrating with artwork that captures the energy, passion, and global spirit of the beautiful game.
Goooooal! features the stunning fútbol collection of "player to be named later" showing bold, dynamic work that belongs in every soccer fan's home. These pieces move like the game itself.
But we're not stopping at the pitch. This exhibition also showcases KC's finest: Chiefs Kingdom art, local landmarks, and KC-inspired pieces perfect for visitors looking to take home a piece of our city.
Traveling from across the globe for the event that shall not be named? Welcome. We saved you a spot on the wall.
Come for the fútbol. Stay for the art. Take home a piece of KC.

No covered bridges. No glowing cottages. No dentist's-waiting-room vibes.
Not Your Grandmother's Landscape brings together artists flipping the script on one of art's oldest genres. They're taking mountains, prairies, and skies and running them through a creative blender. What comes out? Something bold. Unexpected. A little rebellious.
Expect colors that don't exist in nature (but maybe should). Horizons that bend and break. Techniques that blur painting, photography, and something entirely new.
This is landscape for a new generation—energetic, experimental, unapologetic.
Warning: Your grandmother might have opinions. Bring her anyway.

What do you really see when you look at a face?
We take faces at "face value" every day. A glance. A snap judgment. But the artists in Face Value slow us down. Their portraits ask us to linger. To wonder. To see beyond the obvious.
From photorealistic paintings to experimental photography, sculptural faces to abstract interpretations—this exhibition captures the human face in all its complexity. The stories we wear. The emotions we hide. The truths we can't help but reveal.
Featuring artist Bryce Holt
Bryce Holt creates art that tells a story. A self-taught figurative artist, he blends pop art energy with surrealist dreamscapes—each painting an invitation to explore.
Part of Art. Design. Storytelling. In Conversation. This exhibition anchors a special ticketed gathering exploring faces, identity, and interpretation. Artists, architects, interior designers, and creatives come together to reflect on how people are seen, represented, and understood through design. (Invitation Only)

What catches a photographer's eye?
A fleeting expression. Light hitting a building just right. The quiet beauty in everyday moments most of us walk right past.
Through the Lens brings together local and regional photographers who've captured something worth a second look—moments frozen in time that tell stories, spark emotions, and change how you see the world around you.
From striking portraits to sweeping landscapes, intimate still lifes to bold street scenes, these images remind us that extraordinary beauty hides in ordinary places. You just have to know where to look.
Great photography doesn't just hang on a wall—it starts a conversation.

Special Exhibit
Opening Reception: 3rd Friday, October 16, 5–7 PM | On view through November 16, 2026.
Free and open to the public—all ages welcome
Three photographers. Three perspectives. One universal truth: everything has a story.
People. Places. Things. strips photography down to its essence—what we photograph and why it matters. One artist captures the humans who move us. One frames the spaces that shape us. One finds meaning in the objects we overlook.
Together, their work asks a simple question: What are you really looking at?
This isn't just a photography show. It's a lesson in paying attention.
Part of Art. Design. Storytelling. In Conversation. This special exhibition closes out our invitation-only series exploring how photographers frame narrative, memory, and meaning. Artists, designers, and creatives come together to discuss how a single image can shape how we see places, people, and moments. (Invitation Only)
