On October 18 & 19, 2024 from 8-10:30 PM, CPR is once again hosting a special event that you won't want to miss!
-
The art and light festival will be in Cincinnati, Covington, and now, Newport. -
The four-night art and light BLINK festival has drawn hundreds of thousands of people each night since 2017. -
BLINK Executive Director Justin Brookhart says the festival's focus is — and will remain — a local event, but they would like to attract more visitors, and explore taking the show on the road. -
The festival's largest mural was completed in the last week, nearly a month after Blink started. -
The executive director of BLINK says the 2022 version of the festival may have drawn more people than 2019 and 2017. -
“We really think of Thursday night as little bit of a dress rehearsal for some of the projection stuff because we don’t know how it’s going to perform totally at scale.”

“I want people to walk away with a sense of healing; that this is a safe place for them to heal and be fully self-expressed. I want them to understand that outside of the media, Breonna had a whole life and was a whole person,” artist Lady PheOnix says. -
BLINK's leader has a few suggestions of things to look for during the four night light and art festival. -
Captain Doug Wiesman says that extends to all city departments. The emergency operations center will be running, and special response teams like SWAT will be deployed. -
If you have a smartphone with GPS, you'll have access to a 10-stop tour, as well as artist interviews and other extras for the four-night light and art festival, courtesy of ArtsWave.
