The Bay Lights

ZERO1 is the official fiscal sponsor of The Bay Lights

The Bay Lights is an iconic light sculpture designed by internationally renowned artist Leo Villareal. Similar to the ambitious lighting of the Eiffel Tower for its 100th anniversary, The Bay Lights will commemorate the Bay Bridge’s 75th Diamond Anniversary – at 7x the scale of the famous Parisian landmark – by installing 25,000 LED lights onto the bridges’ cables, networked to create a spectacular, animated array across the West Span. This installation will go live during the 2012 ZERO1 Biennial and stay live for two years, providing a stunning fine arts experience for the entire Bay Area and its visitors with the goal of illuminating the arts both locally and globally. The Bay Lights went live March 5, 2013 and will be up for two years!
