The ArtsKC Awards has become one of Kansas City's most popular events. Selling out to crowds of over 500 business, civic, and arts leaders, the event features some of the metro area's finest visual and performing arts talent. This year for the 8th annual ArtsKC Awards Luncheon on January 28, 2011 from 11: 00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. we are proud to announce the following four performers:

Voler Thieves of Flight, an edgy and experimental collaboration of aerial dance and acrobatics, comprised of various performing artists from the Kansas City area. Performances are an exciting display of skill, athleticism, coordination, and flexibility.

Kansas City Ballet, a 25-member professional ballet company, performs three mixed repertory seasons per year as well as the ever-popular Nutcracker. The ballet reaches over 15,000 Kansas City students and adults each year through its community education programs, and provides dance training through the Kansas City Ballet School.

Luna Breeze, a cirque hoop dancer, integrates modern and contemporary dance forms, creating non-conventional hoop dance choreography that focuses on the magic of illusion and the interaction between the hoop and her body.

Paul Mesner Puppets, a theatrical puppet company, presents classic stories recast in contemporary terms. Audiences across the United States have delighted in the precise craftsmanship, dynamic presentation and joyful blending of humor and education in all of their productions.
