Light-en Up New York!

The City that Never Sleeps has been dozing while many cities have been staging all night culture fests. One night per year, several venues/locations open up all over a city for the entire night, where contemporary artists can do their thing.

Some will argue that you could do that in New York on any night. There is a difference though. It would be free, open to the public and it becomes and event. People get excited about events and are more likely to go out and support the arts. It also gives parents an option to take their kids to a family friendly late night party.

A few years ago, I did the L.A.T.E. Ride through Chicago (ride throughout the city late at night) and pushing your body through fatigue was one of the best times of my life.
