By The Yard by Katie Merz: Interactive Art Sale

To celebrate the launch of IC-based artist Katie Merz‘s latest art project, A Line is not Flat, Merz brings her interactive art event, By The Yard, to IC Design Festival this year. During the event, Merz will display her 150-foot-long art on a roofing paper scroll and the public can purchase the art by foot or yard. All proceeds will be donated to Facing it Together, a 501(c)3 nonprofit health and fitness movement that makes effective workout experiences, nutrition and mental health amenities accessible to all communities.

A Line is not Flat is an art project in which Merz takes over the wheelhouse, fire tower, and public seating in Courtyard 5/6, influenced by Brooklyn, cartoons, architecture, music, and the kinetic structure of things.
