Theme:  Culture is the fineness of feelings, thought, tastes, manners, customs, arts, music, ethnic language and architecture.  Kansas City has many ethnic and social cultures living within its borders.  Each group “carries” within itself customs, symbols and images of its own uniqueness and distinction from that of other groups.  At the same time, each group operates within a larger framework of neighborhood, district or economic region.

Borders typically separate and divide rather than include.  The theme of this exhibition is to produce a work based on the idea of Cultures Without Borders.  Our intent is to challenge individuals to focus on their unique similarities and rich diversities.  Works submitted should express an interpretation of your culture.
