KACA was founded in 1966 as a resource group for communication, support, workshops, exhibitions, and networking for Kansas and regional artists working in 3-dimensional media. 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!
Benefits of membership include the opportunities to participate in annual juried and members exhibitions; a gallery page on our newly designed webpage and inclusion in the biannual KACA newsletter.
