On Wednesday, November 28th at 2 p.m. County Commissioners Greene and Aaronson will officially unveil the County’s newest public art project “Light Swimming” installed on the highly visible west and south facades of the South County Civic Center at 16700 Jog Road in Delray Beach.

Designed by local artist Mark Fuller, “Light Swimming” continually delights the passersby with its shifting appearance, dawn to dusk. The spectacular “light show,” primarily controlled by the sun’s position in
the sky, creates an ever-changing spectral wash of colors and shadows across the building. Through the addition of dimensional hemispheres, Mr. Fuller’s design further compliments the diagonal grid of the building. At dusk, the wall mounted “sconces,” with solar powered L.E.D lights, illuminate the building’s facades for a dramatic effect.

Directions: Take I-95 south to Exit 51, Linton Blvd., and go west. Make a left on Jog Rd. Drive south for a quarter of a mile. The South County Civic Center is on the east side of the street at 16700 Jog Rd. Make a left into the first entrance or go to the second entrance, Morikami Park Rd., which has a traffic signal. (The Civic Center is directly across the street from the entrance to The Morikami Musuem and Japanese Gardens.) Call 561-495-9813 for further directions.
