ATLANTA - Oct. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Atlanta, Ga. (October 8, 2015) – Flux Projects is excited to announce Saturday, November 7 as the new date for Flux Night 2015: Dream. The one-night-only public art event will take place in Atlanta’s historic Old Fourth Ward and will feature the original 12 projects curated by Nato Thompson, chief curator of Creative Time, NYC.

“We appreciate the tremendous support from our community in the rescheduling of this event due to the inclement weather last weekend and we look forward to audiences experiencing Dream to its fullest,” said Anne Dennington, executive director of Flux Projects. “The event would not be possible without the amazing talent of our curator Nato Thompson and our Flux Night artists, whose commitment to their projects and the event as a whole is unwavering. Atlanta, you are in for a magical evening!”

WHAT

Presented by Flux Projects, Flux Night 2015: Dream is a one-night event that brings site-specific visual and performance art to Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward and is expected to welcome more than 20,000 attendees to experience the outdoor temporary art installations. Held in the historic neighborhood that is the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Flux Night 2015 is inspired by one of the 20th century’s most germane leaders, whose call to action still rings true today. The site offers a unique context for this year’s audience to consider the artworks. Indeed, given the current social and political climate in the United States, Flux Night 2015: Dream is, more than ever, art for now.
