You have three more chances to see the amazing Colour & Light show at York Art Gallery.
Viewers have until this Sunday (25 February) to see the innovative light projection, creating a magical and memorable experience for visitors and residents alike.
Colour & Light is a high impact and large-scale visual arts project, using 3D projection mapping to bring York’s iconic buildings to life.
This year, York BID has been working with York Museums Trust to illuminate the façade of York Art Gallery.
Double Take Projections are the experts behind the project, who architecturally scanned the façade of York Art Gallery to generate a 3D model.
This model served as the template for content application. From there, they used multiple projections to create one seamless image by projecting from different angles and wrapping content on the irregularly shaped façade.
Viewers will find themselves noticing something new at each viewing, such as York’s skyline being hidden in different mediums and artistic elements of the gallery’s façade that they may not have previously noticed.
Colour & Light is a non-ticketed, free event. The projection plays every 10 minutes, between 6-9pm daily until Sunday.
Carl Alsop, York BID’s operations manager, said: “This event is all about making world-class culture more accessible, and it’s been brilliant watching the show from Exhibition Square, traditionally a quiet and reserved space, with children playing, dancing and laughing, and people from all backgrounds enjoying the show together.
“It’s also been great to see people discovering some of the less obvious apects of the projection on a second viewing.
“Audiences have enjoyed various buildings from York’s skyline reimagined in different mediums, as well as seeing elements of the art gsallery, like the mosaics on each side of the building, brought to life.”
