America Here and Now is an ambitious project to bring our country together in these fractious political times. This group of artists will travel across the country stopping in cities and communities to stage art experiences. Their hope is that it will renew the appreciation for creativity in our society as well and ignite conversations through the catalyst of art.
Their thoughts: "Conversations will explore themes such as great American journeys, special memories, hopes for our country, and the roles innovation and creativity must play in our future.
America: Now and Here presents a cross-disciplinary experience in visual art, poetry, music, theater, and film as the foundation for engaging audiences in a unique American experience. Through art, people will come together for timely dialogues about America, sharing their insights, ideas, and points of view. Through the America: Now and Here experience, everyone can participate in an exciting national conversation and contribute to this historic American journey."
The first stop of the tour is in Kansas City. It kicks off tomorrow and runs through the 28th. I deifnitely think this is day trip worthy. Check out the calendar of events and website for more info.
