36th ART is hosting a Brackett Park Rocket Lighting event during the Greenway Glow Festival in conjunction with the 3rd annual yarnbombing of the fence atop the bridge, led by Jack Becker.
We are seeking artists to help illuminate the rocket in a variety of fun and entertaining ways, including multi-colored projections, LED string light programming, and a youth-orchestrated flashlight flash mob, accompanied by dramatic lift-off sound effects and billowing steam. Imagine the Brackett Rocket “taking off” while a circle of community youths—using colored gels over their flashlights—simulate a fiery lift-off!
Stipends will be offered to 2-3 selected artists for short programs of 10-15 minutes. The deadline for submitting Letters Of Interest is July 15. Please email beckerjack54@gmail.com for more details.
Plans call for a community potluck picnic, a bonfire, live music, and lawn games (permit pending). Special guests will include Randy Walker, the artist who created the sculpture “Return Journey” in 2007 using the original rocket ship that stood for decades in the playground. Stay tuned for details!
Please contact bobbie.erichsen@gmail.com for questions about the event.
