Kansas City, MO – A nearly empty 2-acre field of grass near the corner of 44th and Main has been transformed into a Sculpture Field. American Century Investments, in partnership with the Kansas City Art Institute, launched the new initiative yesterday with the first installation - six original works by the Kansas City-based sculptor STRETCH. KCUR?s Laura Spencer reports.
