Light on Lake: Launch Party
Join the opening celebration for the “Light on Lake” public art projections along East Lake Street. Features artist installations by Boo McCaleb, Erica Warren, and Rachel Quast. The party includes local food, music, and community engagement at Midtown Global Market, while the projections light up the surrounding Lake Street buildings.
Join us for a free community celebration kicking off Light on Lake, a four-night public art experience transforming the Midtown Global Exchange building into an outdoor gallery of light and color. Meet the artists behind the work, get a first look at their large-scale projection installations, and enjoy an evening of art, music, and community.
About Light on Lake:
This summer, The Great Northern invited Minnesota-based artists to submit proposals for “Light on Lake,” a four-night public art experience that will transform East Lake Street into a large-scale moving projection installation. Our selected artists have created original artwork that will illuminate the walls and facades of East Lake Street businesses this winter. Light on Lake runs January 29 - February 1.
In addition to creating original work, our selected artists led community workshops this fall, inviting neighbors and community members to share stories and ideas which were incorporated into the final pieces.
