About Us

The Artisan Tour highlights the unique abilities, creativity, and imagination that is achievable when building a custom home. Homes on the Artisan Tour are held to the highest standard using the finest materials and incorporating the kind of detail and character that you don’t find just anywhere.

The Artisan Tour is hosted by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City (KCHBA). For over 85 years, the KCHBA has been an association of industry professionals serving the communities and residents of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area by promoting housing opportunities. Comprising approximately 500 member companies, KCHBA members contribute more than $1.5 billion to the Kansas City economy and support more than 20,000 jobs. In addition to the Artisan Tour, the KCHBA is proud to bring you outstanding, year-round opportunities to experience the home building and home improvement industries, including the Fall and Spring Parade of Homes.

Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City

As the region’s largest nonprofit home builder, Habitat KC partners with thousands of families each year, helping them build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable housing. With the support of volunteers, donors, and community partners, Habitat KC builds and renovates homes, helping families achieve their dream of homeownership. Through this new collaboration, KCHBA is affirming its commitment to supporting housing for all.

“Homes are not just structures; they are the foundations of thriving communities,” said Scott Bickford, chair of the 2024 Artisan Home Tour Committee. “Through this partnership, we aim to highlight the importance of quality housing while supporting the great work Habitat KC is doing to improve access to homeownership.”
