The Idea

kite flying + community-building = GOOD. A Kite Flying Celebration at noon on Sunday, May 13th in downtown Charlottesville, VA. Everyone will receive a unique screen-printed kite and spend the afternoon flying them together. Sign up online or stop by public screen-printing workshops on May 4-5th.

The Specifics

We will use the funds to buy kites in bulk, as well as art supplies for screen-printing and to decorate a temporary booth from which to hand out kites during the Field Day Closing Gala of the Tom Tom Founders Day Festival, a celebration of music + arts + innovation in Charlottesville.

On the previous weekend, we’ll make make the kites at public workshops led in community spaces downtown. During the workshops, we will facilitate a dialogue about our creative process, engaging the public. This project will happen at the intersection of art, design, and performance with the city as its canvas.

Victoria + Patrick have collaborated on many free art workshops in the past. They’re friends who believe in the power of art to build community.
