 Factum Through Topography - Hannah Lodwick (Senior, Painting)

 

 June 1, 2013        Art & Design Auction

INNOVATION, the Kansas City Art Institute's 2013 Art and Design Auction, will boast new experiences, interesting art, cutting-edge technology, KC's hottest DJ, all in a hip, chic environment.

The Kansas City Art Institute hosts an art and design auction every other year as a benefit for KCAI’s student scholarship fund. Auction items include artwork donated by faculty and alumni, along with classic 20th and 21st century design pieces acquired with assistance from local design and architectural firms.

This year the Zahner Company will produce "Factum Through Topography," a sculpture created by Hannah Lodwick (senior, painting and art history), who won a student design competition.

Akio Takamori ('76 ceramics) will be the featured artist for the auction this year. Several events are planned in connection with this artist and his artwork coming to Kansas City.
