Karen Puga, Department Administrator advised that the igNIGHT Working Group held a meeting last month where a theme of Solstice was decided upon, as well as further opportunities for the event. It was indicated that an Artist call has been drafted which outlines proposed event details including schedules and deadlines, Design Theme, Location, Project Proposals, Design parameters, Entry Requirements, and Evaluation Criteria.
Karen advised that further research has been done to determine the most appropriate location to host the event. The undeveloped Franklin and Main Park location has been proposed. It was indicated that this location would grant plenty of access to the public due to its centralized location and proximity to a main roadway , it will also allow adherence to COVID-19 safety precautions.
The Committee also proposed suggestions for the number of submissions that will be accepted to be included in the final display.
