I Heart Rail Trail: Lights, presented by U.S. Bank, is back! From March 4th through March 20th, the Rail Trail will celebrate local art with never-before-seen interactive light installations. There’s no better way to experience South End. Stroll down the Rail Trail, enjoy one-of-a-kind art, take the perfect photo, grab a bite to eat or a drink and do it all again the next day.
Five artists from North and South Carolina artists submitted proposals to create works that incorporate light into the medium and concept in some way. This includes works such as sculpture, digital projections, wayfinding, or interactive solutions.
I Heart Rail Trail: Lights is part of the I Heart Rail Trail initiative, a partnership between the Charlotte Rail Trail, Charlotte Center City Partners, and U.S. Bank. Learn more about the initiative.
“U.S. Bank is excited to partner with Charlotte Center City Partners and a group of amazing artists to brighten spirits in Charlotte with these light installations. [...] We are proud to play a role in bringing this project to life, and we look forward to the eventual completion of the Rail Trail Pedestrian Bridge that will connect South End to Uptown.”
— Ashley Cumberbatch, U.S. Bank Consumer & Business Banking District Manager for Charlotte
