Light Sculpture to Pierce North Side Skyline
North Side’s skyline will soon be a little brighter thanks to a new Mattress Factory installation. The sculpture Acupuncture; named after its piercing appearance, is designed by well known light artist Hans Peter Kuhn and built with custom 65-100 foot LED lit tubes.
With the design, permits, and engineering complete there is still a need to gain additional founding for the project. The Mattress Factory has raised the majority of the cost and is appreciative for any community donations made through their FirstGiving page. Once completed Acupuncture will bring new attention to the North Side skyline and add additional beauty to our city.
