#STAYBRIGHT at The Rise
July 30, 2020
Community & Co-creation
Coming together while staying apart
Introducing #STAYBRIGHT. An interactive art installation of epic proportions presented by us here at Brightside, in partnership with PARK. Together, we’ve created a space at The Rise on St. Patrick's Island in Calgary, for you to stay connected, get inspired, and enjoy the summer (while safely staying two meters apart).
This unique approach to physical distancing will be set up for the entire month of August, providing a space for the community to safely come together and live their lives to the fullest this summer. You can immerse yourself in #STAYBRIGHT to enjoy a picnic with friends, get active with a workout, or soak up the cityscape, while enjoying the incredible art.
Art of co-creation
At Brightside, we dig community and co-creation. Like really, really dig it. We're excited to be working with PARK to create a special community-oriented initiative that supports local artists.
This installation came to life with the help of the local artist duo, Nasarimba. They designed and conceptualized the colourful large-scale interactive piece with designated areas for physical distancing, all while looking out on some amazing city views. The ground mural was inspired by a desire for connection and stimulation of the imagination. The duo used a technique that was new to them - environmentally, non-toxic paint applied to the grass that will be continually refreshed throughout August so it’s always looking fresh.
