Art & Air Studios Special Event

Kites Take FlightKites Take Flight, a community kite project

Art&Air 2011 is offering an exciting new interactive art project called Kites Take Flight. The mission is to invoke the impression & inspiration of “air” at our outdoor fine art fair by displaying colorful kites. We have encouraged area school groups, local businesses & area artists to adorn a kite.

Awards will be given for stand-out Kites in each category. Kites are to be designed to hang in the outdoors for the duration of Art & Air 2011, June 3-5, 2011. Click the kite at left for a larger version.

During the Art & Air 2011, the Kites will be available by silent auction & will be released to the highest bidder. All proceeds will benefit programs of the Webster Community Arts Foundation.


Here is a list of kite participants. Don't forget to stop by the Fair Information Booth, and place a bid in the silent auction.

My current non-objective paintings develop a specific visual language that defines subject matter and content. The paintings evolve in layers that vary from thin transparencies to thick gestural forms. The resulting surface is a combination and culmination of my thought process and experience. Every layer of paint, every mark on the picture-plane  becomes a crucial meaning of its history and the eventual resolution of the statement. Form, atmospheric space and color are the catalyst for my imagery illuminating the world of our natural and urban surroundings.(www.timothyewagner.com)
