Prismatica

What:
A glimmering winter kaleidoscope has come to the Garment District with Prismatica, an immersive art installation comprised of 25 pivoting prisms that reflect the colors of the rainbow. As pedestrians walk through the exhibition, the six-foot-tall, multi-colored prisms fill the plazas with reflections and musical sounds, creating an ever-changing light show.

The interactive installation creates an enchanting atmosphere along the plazas, putting visitors at the center of the experience. Glimmering by day and atmospheric by night, the prisms are six feet tall, made of panels covered with a dichroic film that reflect the colors of the rainbow, and emit light and a variable-intensity soundtrack of bell sounds when rotated.

When: JAN. 11, 2021 — JAN. 30, 2021

Where: Broadway between 36th and 40th Streets
