Project Summary

In celebration of Wichita hosting the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Championships' First and Second Rounds, “Bouncing through Downtown: Art & Basketball” (“Bouncing through Downtown”) is an innovative project to transform downtown storefronts into vibrant art galleries featuring basketball-themed art installations.

Using basketballs as the core artistic element, local artists will create unique, temporary art pieces – from clothing crafted from deconstructed basketballs to intricate landscapes composed of dozens of basketballs. These creations will be displayed in downtown storefronts, inviting residents and visitors to experience downtown in an entirely new and inspiring way.
