Sights + Sounds at Waterside Place is excited to announce a very special series celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Lakewood Ranch. Local artists “Enlightened Monkey Arts” will share visual stories projected onto walls and buildings around the town center. These moving murals are shaped to fit objects and surfaces for a mesmerizing optical experience. The stories will capture the essence of Lakewood Ranch, showcasing the history of the land, the natural Florida environment, and the spirit of the community through the years. The Art & Light Exhibition will be open every night, 6:30-9 p.m., from Jan. 14 – Jan. 20. Grab a drink to-go from participating Beverages in the Street (BITS) vendors and enjoy four major projections and four micro projections located throughout the town center. Don’t miss a special artists talk event at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 16, at which you can meet the local artist responsible for the exhibition.
