Visions of the Flint Hills Art Show & Sale

Buttonwood Art Space hosts the annual Visions of the Flint Hills Benefit and Sale to benefit preservation of the Flint Hills area of Kansas. The 10,000 acre Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve and surrounding Flint Hills represent the largest remaining parcel of tallgrass prairie that once covered 140 million acres in North America. In 2008, the Tallgrass Prairie was named one of the eight wonders of the State of Kansas.

This juried exhibit features art of the Flint Hills and runs from October 7, 2011 through November 25, 2011, at Buttonwood Art Space, 3013 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri. Partial proceeds benefit the Flint Hills Tourism Coalition, which promotes the Flint Hills as a visitors' destination. The opportunity is open to paintings, photographs, and 3-D works influenced by or depicting the Flint Hills geographic area in Kansas.

Artists may submit up to four pieces for a $10 entry fee. The deadline is August 1, 2011. All artwork will be juried on a piece-by-piece basis by Gallery Director Jamie Lavin. All works will be split 50% to the artist and 50% to Flint Hills charity.
