CINCINNATI, April 05, 2018 -- Cincinnati’s art and light phenomenon, BLINK, will return to downtown Cincinnati and surrounding areas October 10-13, 2019. The only U.S. event of its kind will again feature large-scale projection mapping, murals by international artists, interactive light sculptures and diverse entertainment. BLINK will continue to be free and open to the public.
BLINK’s inaugural event in October of 2017 spanned 20 Cincinnati blocks and was experienced by more than one million visitors, the largest gathering of people ever in downtown Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine.
“The spirit of BLINK is the joy we all found in a shared moment of art and light,” said Tim Maloney, the mastermind behind BLINK and the president and CEO of the Carol Ann and Ralph V Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation. “BLINK promises to share even more surprises and jaw-dropping moments in 2019.”
“Preparations and fundraising are already underway for BLINK in 2019,” said Jill P. Meyer, president and CEO of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber. “We look forward to partnering with those leaders and businesses who know this event, like no other, puts Cincinnati on the global map as an innovative, inclusive and creative future city.”
