![]() They have now teamed up with Toronto-based RAW Design to present the imaginative and whimsical creation that is Prismatica. Prismatica is brought to Navy Pier in part by Montreal-based Quartier des Spectacles, the same group that presented last year’s hit art installation, Impulse. “ Prismatica has all the makings of a hit public art installation that is sure to draw attention and participation from Hilton guests in Chicago.” ![]() “Navy Pier plays an integral role in attracting visitors to Chicago, offering a variety of unique experiences tailored to people from all walks of life,” said Hilton Senior Director of Destination Marketing, Anna Dix. Following the opening ceremony, the installation will be on display and open to public interaction every day during standard Navy Pier operating hours through April 15. Hot chocolate will be available to attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are invited to count down to the lighting of the installation. Navy Pier is set to host a free public ceremony for the grand opening of Prismatica on February 16 at 5:30 p.m. “ Prismatica aligns perfectly with our mission and serves as a great example of what happens when art intersects with play.” “We are constantly looking for artistic work that inspires curiosity and creativity among our guests, while also providing fun and memorable experiences,” said Navy Pier Chief Program and Civic Engagement Officer, Michelle T. The prisms reflect every color in the visible spectrum and transmit blissful sounds upon interaction, allowing for infinite interplay with this unique art installation. Prismatica is a dynamic art experience comprised of 25 six-foot pivoting prisms – resembling giant kaleidoscopes – that transform the space into a field of bold colors and bright lights. From Friday, February 16 through Sunday, April 15, guests will have the opportunity to interact with Prismatica, a free, temporary public art installation presented in partnership with Quartier des Spectacles and RAW Design and supported by Hilton.
