The interactive light show on the Rail Trail is here for just a few more days and it is worth checking out. Titled “I Heart Rail Trail: Lights”, this outdoor show along the rail trail is an interactive light installation that is here until March 7th. This means you have a few more days to check it out before it’s gone.
There are 6 different exhibits along the rail trail spanning from Carson Boulevard to Atherton Mill in SouthEnd. The installations are the work of many local artists in partnership with the Charlotte Rail Trail, Charlotte Center City Partners, and U.S. Bank. It is part of the I Heart Rail Trail initiative which should bring many projects to share with the community.
Below is a brief description and location of the six installations:
- Fairy Ring – Atherton Plaza, 2102 South Boulevard – 80 hand-sculpted mushrooms – Artist Meredity Connelly
