"ART AS KITES" - Oct. 1 through Dec. 31 at Minka [image: IMG_20190518_164130307_HDR.jpg] MINKA is proud to present "Art as Kites", an exuberant sampling of wind-turning highfliers by Scott Skinner, Greg Kono and Jose Sainz. These three diverse artists give new meaning to the eternal question, "Do you think this idea will fly?" The answer is, "Of course!" Meet Greg Kono and kite expert Alison Fujino at the Tacoma Studio Tour, Sunday, Oct. 13 (exact time to be announced). Fujino recently gave a talk about kites at the Sorbonne in Paris, and she will be on hand to answer your questions about this fascinating sport and craft. "Art as Kites" will be on view from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, 2019 at MINKA (821 Pacific Ave.). This show is presented with support from the Seattle-based Drachen Foundation, for 25 years devoted to spreading knowledge about kites worldwide.
