Sparkling Water

Don't miss one of the last opportunities to capture the magic of the Olaf Eliasson Waterfalls
- a public art project located on the East River. Please join us on a water-borne tour as lighting designer Michael Mehl discusses the creation,
implementation and lighting of these four waterfalls.
