Project Description

The month-long exhibition will take place from November 6 – 30, 2020, with works lit from 5 – 10pm nightly. In addition to the installations, CCAC will program four evenings of events based around the installations.

  • Corryville Recreation Center (TBD)

Between 9 – 18 awards will be granted by CCAC and the Committee.
