VIRTUAL- 1st Annual Fiber Exhibition at Kansas City Stockyards Gallery

This October the Kansas City Stockyards Gallery, located at 1600 Genessee, Kansas City, MO, looks to exhibit the best of contemporary fiber art.  Artists are invited to submit work that reflects a wide range of functional or non-functional works using fiber and/or fiber art techniques, and work that addresses the subject or medium of fiber. We want to showcase the full expanse of fiber art, including but not limited to embroidery, weaving, felt, sculpture, dyeing, sewing, quilts, knitting, and crochet. Fiber can be, but is not limited to, fabric, wood, wool, paper, metal, or synthetic materials. We are specifically looking for upbeat, unique, fine art submissions. Pieces must be of original design. Kits and commercial patterns are prohibited. Artists should indicate all fiber media and/or fiber techniques used in each piece. Fees are kept low to support artists, $15 entry fee for 5 entries. The Kansas City Stockyards Gallery takes a 40% commission of the price you put on your work. $100 award for Best In Show awarded at reception on 10/16, 5-9:00pm.
