In 2002, Firefly Graphic Design Studio, Inc. was selected by Kansas City Young Audiences (KCYA) to design and program their first Web site for Kansas City Arts Partners, kcya.org/ artspartners. We had many ideas for the site, including the practical option of adapting the work we'd already developed for KCYA to suit this new purpose.
