Description: During the Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts (29 February - 16 March 2008) more than 200,000 people enjoyed the spectacular Northern Lights.
This free event took place on North Terrace every night of the Festival between 9pm and 2am.
Before the Festival ended, the South Australian Government agreed to foot the additional $75,000 bill for the lights to stay up until March 30.
Artists from the internationally acclaimed The Electric Canvas http://www.theelectriccanvas.com.au/ transformed seven historic buildings by projecting designs onto their facades. It is the largest light installation of its type ever displayed in Australia.
Even though each of the buildings has stood for well over 100 years, this special event has allowed people to see Adelaide's cultural boulevard in a new light. Buildings in order of appearance:
Elder Hall
Bonython Hall
Mitchell Building
The Art Gallery of South Australia
Mortlock Wing - State Library
South Australian Museum
The Institute Building
Soundtrack: Porcelain by Moby
Northern Lights was supported by Be Active http://www.beactive.com.au
This event took place on the land of the Kaurna people. Traditional custodians of the area now known as Adelaide.
