Since our launch in 2017, the team at Boston Daniels Corp. has worked tirelessly to promote Peace through the Arts in the Northeast area of Kansas City, Kansas. In 2020 our organization transitioned into a 501(c)3 nonprofit in order to expand initiatives throughout our community.

About us
Since this time Karen Daniels and her team have successfully led the organization into a $1.2 million renovation of Boston Daniels Park, expanded our Principle of Peace Program (Police Reform), and obtained land bank property to erect a Peace and Urban Arts Center.
Our team is now working to establish a Peace and Urban Arts District that follows along the NE KCK Heritage Trail and connects Kaw Point to the Quindaro Townsite, integrating green infrastructure, job access, expanded transportation options, and way-finding along its path.We are fortunate to have amazing partnerships, volunteers, board members, and staff from all walks of life who bring their unique expertise and resources into everything we do. This is what enables us to achieve our goals.
While there is always more that can be done, there is no doubt that we are making a significant impact. We don’t measure our success through just facts and figures but through happy faces and heartwarming feedback.
