Field of Light at Freedom Plaza officially opens December 15.  Encompassing more than six-acres on Manhattan’s East Side from 38th to 41st Street on First Avenue, Field of Light at Freedom Plaza will feature 17,750 lowlight, fiber-optic stemmed spheres, which will illuminate with a slow and subtle change of hue. The installation melds art, technology, and nature to create an ethereal muted landscape in the open waterfront area set against the backdrop of Manhattan. Made possible by The Soloviev Foundation, Field of Light at Freedom Plaza welcomes guests free of charge and presents meaningful opportunities for community engagement and educational programming.
