Art is fun, vibrant, calming, somber, and often abstract! Most importantly, art is for all. This exhibition, “Abstract: heART for All” will feature original abstract artworks and we can’t wait to see what artists have to submit! Artwork featuring hearts are also encouraged! This theme ties directly with the mission of our benefiting organization, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHCKC). 

The mission of RMHCKC is to reduce the burden of childhood illness on children and their families. This is accomplished by creating a caring and uplifting environment for families while children receive medical care. As such, this theme is a perfect fit! Artists are asked to submit their abstract works, uplifting work and artwork featuring images of hearts. Artworks may include: paintings, photographs, 3D pieces, fiber works, jewelry and much more!

First Friday will be held on March 4, 2022 in person at Buttonwood Art Space (3013 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64108) from 5pm — 8pm and all are welcome to join!

50% of each artwork sold will go to RMHCKC with the remaining 50% going to artists for their beautiful creations.

Sponsorships opportunities are available as well. Please send a message to Info@ButtonwoodArtSpace.com for sponsorship inquiries.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City alleviates the worry and expense of finding a close, comfortable and affordable place for a family to stay while their child receives the medical care they need. That can make a world of difference to a child bravely battling an illness or recovering from a serious injury.
