RESOLVED,
Ithaca Festival’s Art in Glow Ithaca Festival’s inaugural Art in Glow event will be a celebration juxtaposing the flair of urban street art with the necessity for lighted pedestrian passageways. According to the Downtown Ithaca Alliance’s 2020 strategic plan, pedestrian scale public art, pedestrian level lighting, and pedestrian safety are achievable goals toward improving the downtown environment for locals and visitors. Inspired by the Van Gogh–Roosegaarde bike path in the Netherlands (pictured below), currently among the hottest and most sought after global tourist attractions, Art in Glow will aim to provide long-term beautification and safety in Ithaca, as well as be an interesting and unique public art installation destination for tourists. This project is funded in part by a grant from the Tompkins County Tourism Board. The event will entail artists and community members using glow-in-the-dark spray paint to enhance a designated area of Ithaca's Waterfront Trail (see attached image for location). There is local and global precedent for an art installation event such as this, and many city officials have made requests for increased public art as well as thoughtful solutions for pedestrian lighting and safety. Art in Glow will creatively fulfill those needs and is scheduled to take place on October 22, 2016.
