History

From the Rocket Grants Projects 2011-2012 :

“Plug Projects” This project is a curatorial collaboration by five Kansas City artists (Nicole Mauser, Amy Kligman, Misha Kligman, Cory Imig & Caleb Taylor) who share the mission of bringing fresh perspectives and conversations to the local art community through a new, collective artist-run space. Their goal is to energize artists and the public at large by exhibiting challenging new work, initiating critical dialogue, and expanding connections of artists in Kansas City as part of a wider, national network of artists.

From 2011-2020, Plug Projects occupied a storefront gallery space in Kansas City’s historic West Bottoms district. There, Plug Projects exhibited works from national and local artists, facilitated programming such as Crit Nights, Spark Plugs, and unPLUGGED.

Due to the Covid-19 crisis and its impact on art spaces and individual members, Plug Projects left behind its West Bottoms gallery space and operated unattached from a physical location for a year.

Plug Projects became PLUG, LLC, a 501(c)3 nonprofit and in 2021, PLUG became a tenant at the Agnes Arts Center.
