Join us for the opening reception of our July exhibitions! The Sketchbook Project in the Main Gallery and While Supplies Last by Evan Stoler in the Snap Space Gallery.

The Sketchbook Project is a group exhibition featuring various local artists. Each artist had the opportunity to fill a 5 x 9" sketchbook in any style! Throughout the exhibition you'll see work from painters, photographers, and even mixed media artists. All sketchbooks will be included in a catalog and featured on KCAC's website.

Artist Statement

I want to challenge viewers to question the textures, patterns, and organic entities placed before them as I strip supplies of their commonplace function. With each piece I create or utilize a mechanical process and repeat that process to develop a form or effect.  Light is important because it emphasizes a blurred distinction between familiar reflective surfaces and in some cases creates a paradox of fragility. My work is a testament to the monotony of the daily grind and revealing the beauty in the mundane.
