1708 Gallery has been putting on InLight Richmond since 2008. It’s a FREE, public exhibition of light-based art and performances. Each year, InLight features performances, sculpture, video, and interactive projects that illuminate pathways, walls, sidewalks, green spaces, and kicks off with the Community Lantern Parade.

This year InLight 2019 will take place at Chimborazo Park on November 15th and 16th from 7 – 11 pm and the projects will focus on the social and geographic history of this park. Two key moments in the park’s history include being the location of the largest Confederate military hospital during the Civil War and following Emancipation, hosting a Freedmen’s community for formerly enslaved African-Americans. 1708 seeks artists and projects that respond to, elaborate on, and propose new ways of understanding these complex histories.
