Electric Playhouse, The City of Albuquerque and Epson will sponsor Albuquerque, N.M.’s first citywide projection-mapping event, Lighten Up Albuquerque, from Jan. 3 to Feb. 1.
“As the light returns and as new year hopes, resolutions and dreams shine, Albuquerque is alive with the energy of the future–powered by a sustainable ecosystem and economy as well as the playful enthusiasm of city residents and all New Mexicans,” the event announcement says.
“This is a time to think big, share light, and set a tone,” according to the Lighten Up Albuquerque announcement.
In this spirit, every Friday for four weeks and culminating Saturday Feb. 1, Electric Playhouse will map and project artwork from a different artist onto a city building, monument, or other location with creations that express the themes of Energy, Light, Community, Sustainability and Play.
The event launches at the historic Pueblo Deco landmark Kimo Theater on Central Avenue.
