Food & Drink

Part of every special event is the food, and we have a list of area caterers to ease the stress of planning anything from small plates to three course dinners. For events serving alcoholic beverages, our bartenders will serve your guests. We also have centerpieces, linens, and other decorations available to rent to make your event special.

Please note: Due to health regulations, all food must be from a licensed caterer. We have a list of preferred caterers, and are happy to discuss your vision during a consultation with our Events Manager.

We have a fabulous collection of world-class artwork on view. Each time you visit we may have something new. We cannot guarantee that any piece will be on view during your event. In order to protect our collection of original artwork, certain items are not permitted in the galleries including fresh-cut greenery (flowers are permitted from a florist), confetti, open flame, and balloons. Please contact us with any questions.

The staff of the AKMA is committed to making your vision a reality. To request more information or to book an event, please contact Amber Wilcox, Events Manager, at 816-233-7003.
