Pop-Up pARTy

For their Alter: Pop-Up pARTy work for Art in the Loop, Boi Boy and Bo have created an interactive art installation seeking to actively engage streetcar riders on their way home from work. Shake off a mundane workday with a spontaneous and inclusive dance party! If you’re not a dancer, stay and watch performances by local, eclectic artists. This exploration of nightlife during the afternoon encourages riders to interact with their neighbor, break down social barriers, and start the weekend with a fun, relaxing and positive experience. Alter Art just wants to have fun.

Location

KC Streetcar Union Station Stop
Friday, August 24th, 5-7 pm
