ABOUT ARTBOARDS
The Crossroads ARTBOARDS were launched in fall 2008 when BOK Financial (then Mobank) purchased the building that currently houses its Crossroads Branch and renovated and converted the building’s existing double-sided billboards into a highly visible site for work by area artists. The project was completed by Helix Architecture + Design. To date, commissions by approximately 76 Kansas City area artists have been featured on the ARTBOARDS.
