Night Light presented by Buffalo Bayou Partnership and Aurora Picture Show

Night Light is a uniquely Houston evening of free video art along the waterfront. On April 2, Buffalo Bayou Partnership and Aurora Picture Show will present site-specific, large-scale video projections by a diverse lineup of local artists in three novel locations on a stretch of Buffalo Bayou East trails. Attendees can experience the artwork by traveling along the trails via bikes, on foot, or by other means while enjoying music, food, and goods from neighborhood vendors.

Julia Barbosa-Landois, Marcelese Cooper, and Input/Output are the artists included in the Night Light program. These local visionaries have created abstract and experimental works in direct response to three locations along the bayou, drawing upon the themes of water and industry. The event aims to welcome adjacent communities and the general public and celebrate these interesting – but often overlooked – sites along the Buffalo Bayou waterfront. The center of Night Light is Guadalupe Plaza (behind Talento Bilengue Houston), and other featured sites are the Gravel Silos and the underside of a freeway overpass.

The locations featured in Night Light are important landmarks in in BBP’s 2019 Master Plan, which details how the waterfront will be transformed throughout the Greater East End and Fifth Ward neighborhoods, stretching to the Port of Houston Turning Basin. These locations are part of a contiguous trail that will be revitalized with added green space, reimagined industrial sites, and vibrant gathering spaces for all Houstonians.

Night Light is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
