The Atlantic Avenue community is encouraged to participate in this important review of designs in development for the Atlantic Avenue Doorway Lighting Project (Lighting The Boulevard) This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about individual participation, provide input and get specifics about the overall program.
 
Lighting artist Leni Schwendinger will provide a presentation of her current designs for the locations of fixtures at individual doorways in the pilot program. She will discuss her overall artistic vision and her design approach to lighting a variety of Atlantic Avenue doorways.

Your suggestions are welcome! Please join us!

Leni Schwendinger is an internationally renowned lighting artist and the principal of Leni Schwendinger Light Projects LTD. Leni has been retained by the LDC to conceptualize the overall program, create and manage the design and placement of fixtures. She is working closely with OSRAM SYLVANIA and DesignPlan, a national fixture manufacturer in developing a customized family of fixtures for Atlantic Avenue based on a new module that can provide an exceptionally high ratio of light compared to relatively few units. These will be positioned strategically at doorways of participating buildings. The program is designed to add a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere to the Avenue.

We hope to see you on the 15th! No need to RSVP, just come:)
