The 2018 Art in the Loop Project: KC Plays!, a curated outdoor exhibition, features 15 temporary works of art and performances in the greater downtown area.

As the series prepares to open, a number of participating artists, dancers, musicians, and poets take turns discussing their contributions. They are introduced by art directors Jahaira Aguilar and Andrew Lattner, local artists and co-founders of the collaborative group NDo.

Art in the Loop is designed to make cultural experiences available to downtown residents, visitors, and workers. The kickoff event is co-presented by the Downtown Council, the Municipal Art Commission of Kansas City, Missouri, KC Streetcar, and the City of Kansas City’s Office of Culture and Creative Services.
