The greater Kansas City area is hosting over 100 exhibitions in association with NCECA. Together with Lew White Bus Tours, our local team has put together some incredible bus routes to help you make the most of your conference experience. The galleries & venues mounting these shows are rolling out their red carpets…(or rather, their red white & black NCECA Exhibition flags) with receptions on either Thursday or Friday night. We are pleased to offer bus shuttle service to several points of interest, where you can take in the beauty of this exceptional artwork!
Busses will run from 5:00pm to 9:00pm in a continuous loop at approximately 30 minute intervals, so you can hop on and hop off as you please! Busses will depart from the street outside the lower lobby of the convention center. First up, on
