Lights on Market Street commissioned three large-scale, site-specific lighting installations along the central Market corridor, to mark the district gateways at United Nations Plaza and Sixth Street over six months. The artists—Theodore Watson, Paul Notzold and Jim Campbell—were challenged to create a positive and engaging atmosphere through an innovative use of light and technology.
Lights on Market Street was a project managed by Amy Ress while she served as the Program Manager at Public Architecture. As one of four creative placemaking projects under The ARTery Project, the initiative aimed at transforming the blighted neighborhood into a lively and sustainable destination with the arts at its core.
