Art Installations that Dazzle!

moonGARDEN

The dazzling marquee light installation, moonGARDEN will call Celebration Square home from November 23, 2024 through to January 6, 2025. Created in 2012 by Lucion, moonGARDEN has seen by more than a million people, touring the world, from Lyon’s Fête des Lumières to Brussels, Medellin, Beijing, and now Mississauga.

Featuring four majestic spheres that host delicate shadow theatres and soundscapes, this light installation is without doubt an invitation to dream, and celebrates a more inclusive world.

50th Anniversary Projection Mapping

In collaboration with AVA Animation and Visual Arts Inc., Mississauga artists will transform the north façade of the Hazel McCallion Central Library into a giant canvas for large-scale 3D projection mapping over the Light Up the Square weekend in November.

Through a series of workshops, selected artists have been learning new digital art skills and will bring their artwork celebrating Mississauga’s 50th anniversary to life through projection mapping.

Enjoy this momentous exhibition between 6 to 10 p.m. from November 22nd to 24th.
