Luminous City, is the title of the venue and the current artwork installation in the studio lot, which was installed last year in October and hosted a ribbon cutting last November.
The artwork itself is a photographic canvas, created by local photographer and entrepreneur Braxton Daniels III, with a long exposure photograph of car lights streaming along 603 at night.
The canvas was printed, and then painted by fine artist Robin Shoup Wilson with a colorful aurora in the sky.
The final composite artwork was reproduced on large format vinyl and installed in the downtown studio lot.
The venue is meant to beautify and inspire a sense of illumination in downtown.
“We hope you can attend and take part in this new tradition, of celebrating our local arts, music, and culture under the cafe lights at the Luminous City Final Saturday,” organizers stated.
