Republic Square goes POP!
Thursday, February 29, 2024 by Beth Bond
Republic Square will be the temporary home to POP!, an immersive art installation allowing interaction with light, music, motion and pop culture that’s relocating to Austin during South by Southwest. Austin is the sixth city in the world and third in the U.S. to feature the award-winning installation that was created by Montreal-based entertainment studio Gentilhomme and brought to town by the Downtown Austin Alliance. It’s part of the Writing on the Walls program by the DAA and will be included in the 2024 Art & Parks Tour. “As part of its journey across major cities, this free exhibit is designed to spark joy, encourage collaboration and challenge visitors to reimagine art as a dynamic, collective experience,” said Dewitt Peart, president and CEO of the Downtown Alliance. POP! will be accessible to the public for free March 8-22 during park hours. To learn more, visit the Downtown Austin Alliance website.
