Take Flight in Downtown Klamath Falls

Take Flight in Downtown Klamath Falls

The Wing Walk Collective aims to promote healthy movement and a blend of interactive art in the downtown corridor. This partnership between the Klamath Falls Downtown Association and Healthy Klamath is in its first stages of turning blank slates downtown into interactive wall art. The goal of this is to foster cultural identity, promote physical activity, and engage the public in interactive art installations. 

This project is in partnership between Healthy Klamath and the Klamath Falls Downtown Association.
