Bay Bridge Lights

Bay Bridge Lights

While attending the JP Morgan Health Care Conference, was able to see the lights which are generating luminous art from the Bay Bridge. This is truly one of the most spectacular and inspiring sights that I have seen.

What is The Bay Lights?

What if the San Francisco Bay Bridge were transformed into a breathtaking canvas of light? That was the seminal question that ultimately led to the creation of The Bay Lights, a monumental 1.8 mile-wide tour de force by artist Leo Villareal. The idea of commissioning a work of art for installation on the bridge originated with Ben Davis, who founded the San Francisco-based nonprofit Illuminate (illuminate.org) as The Bay Lights presenting organization. This dazzling display of 25,000 individually programmed white LED lights shone nightly from dusk to dawn, beginning in March 2013. Originally installed as a temporary two-year installation, the artwork was dismantled to allow for bridge maintenance. Upon its February 2016 Grand Relighting, The Bay Lights is illuminated every evening from dusk to dawn, as a gift to the people of California thanks to Illuminate and the generosity of private donors.
