PeaceWorks KC Local Art Fair Canceled for 2021

It truly saddens us to make this decision, but on August 16 the PeaceWorks Kansas City Board of Directors determined that we do not feel we can safely proceed with our art fair on September 25-26, so we are cancelling the art fair this year. It will not happen virtually either as that just did not work for us in 2020 in spite of the great efforts of artist David Bayard.

We are concerned with forecasts that virus issues are only going to get worse through September. Most of our board and volunteers are in at-risk categories for the virus and we are concerned about our ability to staff the event safely. Sadly, the people of the states of Missouri and Kansas provide no comfort in their lack of willingness to take public health measures seriously.

A viral attack, a virtual response: PeaceWorks’ 30th art fair goes online

2020 was shaping up as a banner year for PeaceWorks-KC’s annual art show. The number of artists exhibiting last year was the highest ever, at 130, and the pool of artists was expected to continue to grow. ... Then came the pandemic. ... "How about a virtual, online art fair?" asked David Bayard.

Come online 9/26-27 to PeaceWorks’ 30th annual art fair

The PeaceWorks KC Local Art Fair (formerly the UNplaza Art Fair) will continue as scheduled on Sept. 26-27. Due to current COVID-19 realities and our responsibility to the broader community, the art fair will be a virtual event you can access through this website.
