MATERIAL MASTERY EXHIBITION 2017
KACA was founded in 1966 as a resource group for communication, support, workshops, exhibitions, and networking for Kansas and regional artists. Since its inception, KACA has been a showcase for the latest in contemporary work in clay, fiber, metal, wood, enamel, jewelry, glass and mixed media.
Our membership includes college and university art instructors; K through 12 art teachers; studio artists; students enrolled in art programs; and lovers of craft from across the country. If you are a practitioner or supporter of a craft medium and want to expand your learning, attend workshops with nationally known artists, network with other artists, and have the opportunity to show or view work in respected galleries and museums in the state of Kansas, KACA is for you!
Please join our Facebook group or visit www.kansasartistcraftsmenassociation.com today for current conference and exhibition information, conference photos and year round community discussions. Membership is granted to those who register for the annual conference or enter the Material Mastery Exhibition.
