816 Day Celebration + An Art Activation in August for Art in the Loop
Art in the Loop continues to activate Downtown Kansas City along the KC Streetcar line with 6 art installations on streetcar shelters, one wrapped streetcar, one ongoing community-engaged art project, one ongoing live painting, and six performance events incorporating 17 performing arts groups!
This year’s theme is “Convivencia”, a Spanish word for living together with differences. Convivencia is a shared life with others that is a constant practice, effort, negotiation, and joint achievement while recognizing friction or opposing energy.
The theme is incorporated in the artists’ works and performances; following the links below for more information about our upcoming performances.
