Ben Davis, Bay Lights Artist

Program Speaker:

Ben Davis — Illuminate

The aim of art is higher than art, so ILLUMINATE aims very high. Our highly aspirational mission of changing humanity’s future for the better via public art—some would call it impossible—is a reflection of our core beliefs. The best of our projects will always be radically accessible, free to experience and widely viewable.

ILLUMINATE’s flagship project is The Bay Lights, one of the largest pieces of public art in history. Conceived and permitted originally as a two-year installation, the original artwork shone nightly from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge from March 5, 2013, to March 5, 2015. ILLUMINATE successfully led the effort to return The Bay Lights as a permanent installation, gifted to the State of California, on January 30, 2016.

ILLUMINATE is currently pursuing multiple projects that inspire awe and wonder and we invite your participation.
