Artists from around the Kansas City Region are brought together in Cross Threaded, a group exhibition centered on the growing presence of textile as a respected medium in the art world. Artists approach the idea of thread in different ways: large knit wall work, freestanding CAD weavings, delicate embroideries, suspended Jacquards, repurposed salvaged quilts, painted and reassembled patchworks, and textile infused assemblages and installations. With this exhibition, KCAC is acknowledging an increasing trend in the Fine Art world of supporting traditionally “non-art” media and showcasing the dynamic, powerful and varied ways artists are entering into the art world dialogue with textiles.
