Kansas City 'Sacred' & Sustainable Streetcar Art Set To Debut First Friday

The toy train continues to hype local art as part of its expansion effort.

Here's a sneak peek at an upcoming exhibit that'll decompose at the same rate or faster than all of the angry arts critics who read TKC . . .

On Friday, September 2, from 5:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., the City Market Streetcar Stop will be transformed with a little help from Art in the Loop and Kansas City artist, Sol Anzorena. Using sustainable materials, Anzorena will create “Sacred Spaces”, a temporary art installation at the KC Streetcar City Market stop at 5th and Walnut. The work reminds us of nature’s persistence through time, “patiently waiting for us to peel back the veil of our busy lives and step onto sacred land once more", said Anzorena. The painting highlights plants native to the Midwest region and is designed to gently dissolve over time through exposure to the elements.

Anzorena’s live painting event will accompany City Market’s Fresh Fridays, with KC Chalk and Walk Festival and Art Garden KC. The event takes place from 5:00pm-8:30 pm. Anzorena will paint throughout the evening, accompanied by live acoustic music from Tom Grotewohl who will be playing the traditional Indian flute and folk violin.
