Air Play: Fun Fly Kite Workshops
Visual artist Stacey Sharpe had so much fun creating her large-scale kite installation for Art in the Loop this summer, she wanted to share the love and invite you to make your own through multiple workshops and art classes throughout the summer. Stacey is teaming up with art educators, local businesses, and Art in the Loop to provide opportunities for Kansas Citians to make and fly their very own kite!
