13th Annual Art in the Loop Project
Art in the Loop is a curated outdoor exhibition of temporary artworks and performances presented in partnership with the KC Streetcar. This year’s Art in the Loop Project includes visual artwork based on photography, painting, digitized illustrations, and performances that include dance, spoken word, hip hop, theatrical characters, and more.

This years theme: Home invites artists to explore the places, people and dreams that bring us back to ourselves. A familiar sight, smell, sound, taste or touch–these are the things that feel like home. Home represents the essence of our innermost memories. The aspects of life that resonate with our inner child. For many, home is a reflection of refuge, comfort and belonging. For some, home represents more complex emotions—the catalyst for the ways in which we experience life and evolve over time.

You can find images of all art installations and more information online at www.artintheloop.com

The Art in the Loop Foundation is pleased to announce the 2026 Art in the Loop performing artists.

The Art in the Loop Project is a curated outdoor exhibition of temporary artworks and performance series presented in partnership with the KC Streetcar.

This year marks the thirteenth year for the Art in the Loop Project and includes visual artwork based on paintings and digitized illustrations, and performance artwork based in dance, experimental jazz, hip hop, spoken word, and more.

This year, we asked artists to respond to our theme, Home and explore the places, people, and dreams that bring us back to ourselves. We encouraged artists to reflect on the various emotions associated with the idea of home—the catalyst for the ways in which we experience life and evolve over time.

Artists are selected for the annual program through an online application process open to artists in the greater Kansas City area. A selection panel consisting of local artists, curators, educators, and community members reviewed over 135 applications and selected 26 visual and performing artists.

Thank you all for your interest, support, and participation for this year’s upcoming Art in the Loop season.

We’re looking forward to a wonderful season of celebrating “Home”, and uncovering what this year’s selectees have in store for us in, around, and along the KC Streetcar line!

The Art in the Loop family is saddened to hear of the passing of Hector Estuardo Garcia, 2021 Art in the Loop visual artist. Today, and always, we honor the life and legacy of Hector and recognize his passing with heavy hearts and deep gratitude for the impact he made on Kansas City’s creative community.

Hector was a kind, creative, and funny soul who loved his artistic Kansas City community like they were family. His contribution to Art in the Loop brought the style and sounds of jazz literally onto the streetcar, blending movement, music, and visual art in an engaging way.

Hector will be greatly missed, but his creativity will continue to ride with us everyday.

All our love,
Art in the Loop Team
