The beach is coming to Ballston!

The Ballston Beach Projection is a public art light show installation created by the award-winning editor, video journalist, and multimedia artist, Robin Bell, will include visuals as well as audio meant to bring a beach escape to the city.

Enjoy the beach ambiance while walking around Ballston and practicing safe social distancing. Make a fun evening out of it and pick up drinks and dinner at one of Ballston’s many amazing restaurants! If you can’t make it to Ballston, the relaxing coastal images and sounds will be live-streamed through Ballston’s Facebook page.

This installation is meant to remind us of how much we are impacted by nature. Help protect nature as we know it, and support the Nature Conservancy’s mission to provide the most effective solutions to the environment’s most pressing challenges.
