InLight Richmond juror, Amanda McDonald Crowley, Executive Director of Eyebeam in New York, describes the exhibition: "While literally lighting up the city, artists will also employ sound, performance, ceramics, video, electronics, photography, animation, sculpture, and even surveillance technologies to help us re-imagine the urban streetscape in new ways. InLight Richmond promises to stimulate our senses, as well as guide us in thinking about ways to re-map the city and re-imagine our future in it."
