Nearly 30 artists will take to BLINK stages, October 12-15, providing live entertainment for the 20-block lights and art event. BLINK, set to run from Cincinnati’s Banks to Findlay Market, will feature nearly 70 interactive art sculptures, projection mappings, murals and other light-based displays. Through an immersive and magical experience, BLINK will define Cincinnati an innovative, inclusive and creative future city.
BLINK will be the nation’s largest art & light event and takes place October 12-15, 2017.
“BLINK visitors can expect everything from African dance companies to electric dance parties,” said Andrew Salzbrun, managing partner of The Agar and key organizer of BLINK. “Cincinnati’s musical roots are deep and BLINK will honor them well with this downright awesome entertainment line-up.”
