The Roving Spectacle of Light
a Roving Processional
Street Installation/Roving Performance
This project allows students from area schools to participate in a major public art event that will take place in downtown Richmond.
InLight RICHMOND is a celebration of 1708 Gallery’s 30th anniversary and a collaborative effort between local arts and community organizations in central Virginia to increase visibility and appreciation of the arts. Modeled after Paris' Nuit Blanche, InLight RICHMOND is an all-night celebration exhibiting a spectacle of multi-media installations and performances. As the Roving Spectacle passes the various installations and performance sites they will “turn on” and the InLight exhibition will be officially underway. Check out: http://www.1708inlight.org/
The Roving Spectacle participants come from various art education programs in the Richmond metro area.
Young Audiences • Arts for Learning • Virginia, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts have partnered to design a series of workshops in which area students will work with YAV teaching artists Mim Scalin and Robert Walz to create exciting moving sculptural objects based on the theme of ‘light’ to be used during the Roving Spectacle. Thanks to Celia Fay who helped sponsor this program.
The Visual Arts Center of Richmond students will be bring their large puppets designed for just such a moving spectacle in their summer workshops.
The SPCA will have artistic four-leggers running around helping light things up. And will join us from the Library’s Family Area with original works from kids showing up for fun there.
