Discovery Green, downtown Houston’s 12-acre urban oasis and epicenter for interactive public art, is proud to announce the debut of its signature winter art installation, ATLAS, by internationally recognized artist Jen Lewin. ATLAS is a collection of 24 handcrafted, hand-painted, ethereal glowing moths suspended from trees along the Brown Promenade.


Just as moths are naturally drawn to light, visitors will be attracted and captivated by the radiant light and harmonious sounds from each moth's body. As parkgoers move beneath the suspended moths, they can interact with and transform these elements, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.


Lewin, who recently was selected to create the 2024 central Burning Man Pavilion and effigy, is also the lead mentor for Discovery Green’s Art Lab, a new groundbreaking mentorship program designed to support underrepresented local artists with the skills and resources necessary to expand their practices into large-scale, interactive sculptural outdoor public works.


Open to the public and free of charge, ATLAS will be on display from 6 am to 11 pm, from November 15, 2024 to February 16, 2025.
