Collage Crew Kzoo

Join us for November Art Hop at the KIA with all galleries open for viewing, washi collage making with Collage Crew Kzoo, an Instrument Petting Zoo with Great Lakes Acoustic Music Association (GLAMA), along with light bites and beverages. 

In the lobby you’ll find various acoustic instruments available to play and learn about with GLAMA. Musicians will be on site to walk you through the basics of each instrument. Come and try something new and jam at the KIA! 

In the library you can express yourself through collage with a sampling of washi paper, a traditional Japanese handmade paper. Some washi paper and tape will be provided to incorporate into your pieces. Be inspired by the exhibition on view, Washi Transformed: New Expressions in Japanese Paper. All supplies will be provided. 

Ballet Arts Ensemble will also be joining the fun to share information about the upcoming production of The Nutcracker and the KIA is proud to be participating in the Art Hop’s collaboration with Ministry with Community for a cold weather clothing drive. The clothing drive is requesting new cold weather items including: underwear, socks, gloves, hats, scarves, thermal shirts, coats, and pants. 

Washi Transformed: New Expressions in Japanese Paper was organized by Meher McArthur and is toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC
