11th Annual Art in the Loop Project
Art in the Loop is a curated outdoor exhibition of temporary artworks and performances presented in partnership with the KC Streetcar. This year's Art in the Loop Project includes visual artwork based on photography, painting, digitized illustrations, and performance artwork based in dance, aerial acrobatics, experimental jazz, hip hop and more.
For this year's theme, we asked artists to respond to the Spanish word Convivencia and show us what it means to them and their artwork. Convivencia is a shared life with others that is a constant practice, effort, negotiation, and joint achievement while recognizing friction or opposing energy. We recognize that artists and creatives are familiar with navigating space, energy, and time amongst one another and within their communities.
