Once a year, Paris lights up the city with art for Nuit Blanche. Toronto does the same with all night art revelry. In Santa Monica, Glo transforms the pier, the beach and Palisades Park for art encounters from dusk to dawn.
This year, the art of Le Flash will light up Castleberry Hill on Friday, October 24, from 7pm to midnight.
This fantastical night in Castleberry Hill will feature 30 artist projects—performances and installations, a marching band, the unveiling of a public art project in Cleopas Park, and fireworks at midnight!
Free and open to the public, Atlanta’s inaugural Nuit Blanche aims to initiate a yearly celebration of the city and the arts that identifies with the dynamic of the district.

9pm Unveiling of Mind the Gap Fountain – public art exhibit
