About Inviting Light:
Baltimore City was selected as one of Bloomberg Philanthropies' Public Art Challenge winners for Inviting Light, a public art project featuring five innovative installations curated by Derrick Adams, plus a year of community events led by José Ruiz.
Informed by the Station North Public Space Plan and Signal Station North, a two-year community engagement, planning, and prototyping process that sought to understand light's impact on the nighttime environment and our sense of comfort and place, illuminate the city's lighting history and infrastructure, and bring transparency and access to everyday citizens, Inviting Light’s five distinct artistic light installations will promote safety and further revitalization efforts in a historically disinvested area.
Inviting Light is sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies and facilitated by Central Baltimore Partnership in partnership with the Mayor’s Office and Senior Advisor for Arts & Culture, and the Neighborhood Design Center. Read more about the award here.
