It took a whole region to light up BLINK, and these partners were a big part of it!

Thank you first and foremost to the artists who created the canvas, and to every partner who helped bring four nights of light and art to Cincinnati and Covington. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Until next time, folks 💡🫶

That’s a wrap on BLINK 2026! ✨

Four nights. More than 80 installations. Five zones across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. And countless moments that reminded us what makes our region such a special place to live, work and visit.

From larger-than-life projections, immersive art installations, to live performances, BLINK once again transformed our streets and public spaces into a celebration of creativity, culture and community.

Behind every illuminated building, interactive experience and unforgettable moment were the talented artists, dedicated volunteers, community partners, sponsors and local businesses who helped bring this event to life. And, of course, the millions of moments shared by the people who came out to experience it all.

Thank you for showing up, exploring, supporting local artists and making BLINK 2026 one to remember. Until next time! 💡

Discover Concrete Code, sponsored by Kroger! This thought-provoking installation explores the digital systems that shape the physical spaces around us, revealing the hidden technology woven into our everyday environments.

Blending art, architecture and technology, Concrete Code invites us to look beyond the surface and consider both the beauty and fragility of our increasingly connected world. It’s another example of how BLINK transforms familiar spaces into opportunities for discovery and wonder.

Discover the beauty of nature through light with Mycelium Network, supported by the Greater Cincinnati Foundation!

Located at Lytle Park, this immersive installation by Custom Fibre Optics Ltd draws inspiration from the natural networks that connect plant life, flowing water and the world beneath our feet.

Using fiber-optic lighting to create glowing, organic forms, Mycelium Network transforms its surroundings into a magical experience that invites you to slow down, look closer and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world. 💡🌱
