Art Highlght: iLight Marina Bay

March 24, 2016

What do you like to do during the weekend?

My weekend activities have certainly changed since the little one arrived (it’s about the playdates and family friendly activities now!)  But I have always appreciated art and it’s especially nice to see great displays of public art. I was happy to check out i Light Marina Bay – the largest sustainable light art festival in Asia.  So what exactly does that mean?  I wasn’t sure either, but I saw some pretty gorgeous pictures of some of the 25 art light related installations in and around Marina Bay and wanted to check it out. International artists from across the world including Japan, Singapore, Israel, and the USA created interactive light exhibits surrounding Marina Bay harbor.

It can be a little exhausting walking around the marina to see all of the exhibits so wear comfortable shoes!  It is also worthwhile to check out the map first and decide on what areas you’d prefer to see.  I knew I really wanted to see the prism and the angel wings, but my husband really wanted to see the food stands at Pasarbella.

We started and ended at the food area by Marina Bay Sands, which also had a live jazz performance.
