Something amazing is happening: buildings are becoming projection screens; streets and courtyards are morph into art galleries; and steel, glass, and concrete will pulse, transforming The Dallas Arts District’s 19-square blocks into a mega-surround-sound system. AURORA is coming and FLACO IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

EnLIGHTened Evening: Diwali

EnLIGHTened Evening: Diwali
Friday, October 28 | 6 PM – Midnight | Free
Presented in partnership with the Dallas Arts District, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Dallas Yoga Center.

Diwali is a festival of lights celebrated throughout India and among Indians world-wide.  Hindus, Jains and Sikhs commemorate different auspicious events, but each is a moment of victory of good over evil, light disbursing darkness. Celebrate Diwali with yoga classes, a dance with diyas, or “small lamps”, meditation, art-making activities, storytelling, and more. Continue this festival of lights and witness Aurora 2011: The Art of Light, a multi-media outdoor art installation in the Dallas Arts District.
