2025 Art in the Loop Performance Arts Application

2025 Art in the Loop Call for Performance Artists

The Art in the Loop Foundation (AILF) is in search of artists to bring their creativity to Downtown Kansas City for its 12th Annual summer public art performance series. Please visit www.artintheloop.com to review the complete artist guidelines.
Theme | Wonder

The 2025 Art in the Loop theme “Wonder” encourages artists to be curious about our community and how we relate to each other. How do we live together with differences? What’s your next step? What’s important to you and the greater community? What’s the focus? What’s serving me? What’s serving my community? What is your true north? Another aspect of wonder is the emotion excited by something strange or surprising. Artists are encouraged to explore the concept of wonder and express their curiosity about the Kansas City community in their submissions for this year’s project.
