Scottsdale Public Art’s Night Lights to Illuminate the Waterfront

Night Lights on the Canal will light up the Scottsdale Waterfront Thursday, November 20 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. The following installations will be on display for one night only, so be sure to catch a glimpse of this captivating light show!

Joseph O’Connell’s Tympani and Making Do with Little Water
Tucson-based O’Connell’s Tympani invites you to dance to the beat of a different drum by making your own music and light show. When participants grasp Tympani’s sensors, the drum comes alive with the rhythm of one’s own heartbeat and brilliant lights. Give in to the spirit that moves you and take part in this delight.

Making Due with Little Water allows visitors the chance to control the flow rate on O’Connell’s water projector. The projected image can change from a raging torrent of a waterfall to a small trickle, but its hypnotic qualities remain undeniable.

Mark Lottor’s Cubatron

About Scottsdale Public Art
The mission of the Scottsdale Public Art Program is to make Scottsdale one of the most desirable communities in the country in which to live, work and visit by incorporating art and design projects throughout. In 1985, the City of Scottsdale established the Scottsdale Public Art Program with the goal to enhance the quality of life for its residents and visitors. Since then more than 60 permanent and temporary public artworks have been commissioned throughout the community. Scottsdale’s program and projects have won local, regional and national awards. Public art has taken many forms ranging from the walls of the Pima Freeway to James Turrell’s “skyspace” at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. The Scottsdale Public Art Program is managed by the Scottsdale Cultural Council, a private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) management organization that administers the arts and cultural affairs of the City of Scottsdale and also manages the Scottsdale Center for the Arts and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
