| BLINK RELEASES LINEUP OF LOCAL ARTISTS FOR 2024 FESTIVAL We’re just several months out from Cincinnati’s premier arts and lights festival, BLINK 2024, and organizers are giving us a glimpse of what we can expect from the dazzling showcase of art installations, murals, projections and more. BLINK announced its artist lineup Thursday, which includes 32 local artists: Muralists
“I’ve been fortunate to have the gift of time to really be intentional about what BLINK is and can be,” Justin Brookhart, executive director of BLINK, said in a press release. “We want it centered around the artists and our regional community. From the opening ceremonies, to the artwork, to the parties we hope people will throw, BLINK embraces all of who we are.” In total, BLINK, which is taking place Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 17-20, will feature more than 80 global artists, who will create 15 one-of-a-kind murals and 70 light-based art and projection mapping installations. In April, organizers also announced that they would be expanding the festival’s footprint into Newport, spanning the festival across three cities, the Ohio River and over 30 city blocks. “Iconic Cincinnati landmarks, as well as hidden corners of the urban core, will be bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors, as the community is invited to explore, play and interact with the works all across the city,” reads a press release. Some fan-favorite installations returning this year include Dan Shields’ String Theory, as well as the illuminated Toy Heritage mural, Asianati Night Market and the drone show. New this year is a laser projection that will stretch across the Ohio River, and for the first time since Cincinnati’s Lumenocity days, Music Hall will be illuminated. In 2022, BLINK drew over 2 million attendees, which created $126 million in economic impact for the region. Learn more about BLINK: blinkcincinnati.com.
