Conservatory Aglow

January 1-4, 5:00 pm-9:00 pm

Light artist and sculptor Jen Lewin conceived ‘The Pool’ as a huge puddle of light that would invite viewers to jump in—literally—and create their own art together. The concentric circles of 100 glowing computerized pads light up when you step on them, sending ripples of light and color throughout the installation as you move. https://www.columbusmakesart.com/event/31919-conservatory-aglow
