Forty visual artists from ten countries have been chosen to exhibit their work at Open Spaces 2018 in Kansas City, Missouri. Other artists from performing, film, and interactive disciplines will also showcase their work at the city-wide event, which spans nine weekends from August 25 to October 28. (The others will be announced later this spring.)
“Each of the 40 exhibition artists will bring a bold and impactful concept to Open Spaces 2018, while reflecting the strong history and diversity of Kansas City and its people,” Dan Cameron, Open Spaces’s artistic director, said in a statement. “We look forward to working with each one to present works of art that open the minds of our visitors through a wide variety of expressions, using a range of visual languages.”
