Pat Jordan, Founder & President, iSTEAMKC
The co-chair of the Mayor’s Task Force for the Arts is a woman who’s been a formidable presence in Kansas City’s art scene since the early 90s.
Pat Jordan is best known for leading the revival of the 1912 Gem Theatre on 18th and Vine. She’s also opened galleries and organized arts programs for youth. The Missouri Arts Council recently recognized Jordan’s contributions by awarding her the “Leadership in the Arts” award.
To hear more about her decades of work and her vision for the future of Kansas City in the arts, KC Currents’ Susan Wilson caught up with Pat Jordan at her office in the Vine Street Gallery, which opened in the current location in August.
