LE FLASH ATLANTA 2009
CALL for PROPOSALS
A little history…Once a year, Paris lights up the city with art for NUIT BLANCHE. Toronto
does the same with all night art revelry. In Santa Monica, GLOWtransforms the pier, the beach and Palisades Park for art encounters from dusk to dawn.
One misty night in October 2008, LE FLASH sparked this same ephemeral energy inAtlanta’s Castleberry Hill District.
The premier of LE FLASH ATLANTA featured over 40 projects in Castleberry’s streets andgalleries, vacant lots and windows, warehouses and rooftops. The event illuminated thedistrict from dusk to midnight, creating a unique cultural experience, and leaving a traceof magic and mystery in the minds of those who were there.

This year—rain or shine—we return to Castleberry Hill, on Friday, October 2, with LE FLASH ATLANTA 2009, the opening event of Atlanta Celebrates Photography!
Curatorial Team: Cathy Byrd and Stuart Keeler
Fantastical art and creative events will again fill a night out in the neighborhood. Atlanta
expects to be showered with the light and sound of installations, performance art, poetryreadings, music, video projections, an iron pour and art happenings of all sorts.
