Artworks by employees of 20 local companies go on view Sunday in the Grand Hall at Union Station as part of the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City’s “Art/ Work - Creativity from the Cube” program.
There’s more art on the way for Bartle Hall, joining the R.M. Fisher “Sky Stations” atop the pylons and Omaha artist Jun Kaneko’s “Water Plaza” on the south side of the ballroom. The newest project, an animated mesh “tapestry” designed by New York artist Suikang Zhao, is part of Crawford Architects’ improvements to the convention center’s north dock.
