Showhouse 54

The Kansas City Symphony Alliance, a volunteer group supporting the Kansas City Symphony, has begun its annual search for the 2024 Symphony Designers’ Showhouse. Next year’s showhouse will be the 54th Showhouse for this fundraising project that began in 1970 and has become a Kansas City tradition. Perhaps you can help us identify the perfect Showhouse home!

Certain criteria apply, though we are flexible.

Typically, the Showhouse is:
• Located in the Ward Parkway, Plaza, Hyde Park, Valentine or Brookside areas (house must located in Missouri)
• At least 5,000 square feet, preferably three floors, a grand staircase, backyard and driveway roomy enough to host tented events, and reasonable access to street parking or nearby parking lot for visitors.
• Decorated by professional designers (not remodeled) so the house should be structurally sound.

KCSA takes over the home for five months starting in January. An inspection is done pre- and post-inspection. A contract is negotiated for use of the property including such items as paint color schemes and any other items that result in modifications to the home.

We’d love to partner with homeowners who are excited to be part of this 50+ year Kansas City tradition and are proud to lend their homes to raise funds for the Kansas City Symphony.

Do you know a homeowner that would like to update their home with the latest paint colors, newest design ideas, new window treatments, and freshened landscaping? If so, please contact us at [email protected].
