Starting on Monday, March 28, from 7
– 11 p.m. (and 12 a.m. on the weekend) and running through April 3, Baltimore’s
Inner Harbor will become a temporary light art exhibition, a 1.5-mile light art
walk with 28 illuminated artworks. Light City Baltimore will also feature 100
musical and street theater performances and 50 concerts, all free and open to
the public.
The works of art range
from 15-foot sculptures to projections on the sides of buildings (and even on
roofs!) and explore questions of social justice, sustainability and climate
change, and history. More information about the artwork, which is being
installed this week, can be found here.
In tandem with Light City
Baltimore, Neighborhood Lights will bring the lights beyond the Harbor, this
year in five neighborhoods around the city. Each participating community is
currently collaborating with a local artist on their installation, which range
from visual arts to performance art.
A companion to the evening
festival is a day time series of ticketed conferences dubbed Light City U which will explore a series of
provocative topics – healthcare, sustainability, social innovation and
creativity -- from the perspective
of how we create a more just society.
They have an impressive lineup of
speakers including the well-known, like Steve Case and Ray Lewis (as
entrepreneur founder of an energy startup) to lesser knowns (Alec Ross and Bob
Wallace)
