Kansas City Art Institute graduating senior
Katie Kaufman says she feels "completely creative and historically grounded" in the world of steampunk. Today, the art history and fibers major shows off her work at
A Textilier Soiree, an art fair and concert featuring performances by the External Combustion Orchestra, burlesque dancer Sophia Sassafras and "pirate comedy" group the Scallywags. "I have collaborated with other local artists to get the ambience of the show perfect," Kaufman says. See it in all of its futuristic glory at the Brick (1727 McGee, 816-421-1634). Admission is free to the art fair, from 3 to 6 p.m., and $15 thereafter for the 21-and-older concert. Find Kaufman's art online at
