Luminous Bodies Illuminates Arlington

Marking a major milestone in the completion of the Corridor of Light, a 13-year effort to create a vibrant gateway for Rosslyn’s central corridor, the installation of Luminous Bodies by Cliff Garten is set to conclude on Monday, June 1, 2020. In honor of America’s essential workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sculptures initially will be illuminated with a changing array of blue light each evening (8 -10 p.m.). Check out the project page to learn more. *Update: Installation work will be continuing into mid-June. Watch for updates on Arlington Arts social media platforms.
