This holiday season, gather around Manhattan West’s newest public art installation, an electrifying urban campfire comprised of 220 light bulbs that flicker and come to life in response to spectators’ presence and movements. Stir the virtual embers by swaying and dancing within this interactive art installation, which creates a luminous experience for all to enjoy. On select Wednesdays, join us for performances, photo ops, and special treats around the campfire.
