Description


Speaker: Leslie Mooney, Vice President & Executive Director of BLINK

September Luncheon: A Preview of BLINK 2026

Join us for our September luncheon as we welcome Leslie Mooney, Vice President & Executive Director of BLINK, for an exciting preview of BLINK 2026.

Leslie will share a sneak peek at some of the incredible artwork and immersive zones planned for this year's festival, along with an overview of BLINK's remarkable impact on the Cincinnati region—economically, culturally, and internationally.

BLINK continues to set the standard as the largest light-based art festival in the United States and is second only to Vivid Sydney in Australia. The 2024 festival generated an impressive $205 million in direct economic impact, attracted more than 2 million attendees, and earned 67 million print and online media impressions across the U.S. and around the world. Artists and visitors came from a dozen countries and half of the U.S. states, while local attendees spent an average of 2.17 days experiencing the festival.

Don't miss this opportunity to get an insider's look at one of the region's most celebrated events and learn how BLINK continues to transform our community through art, innovation, and economic growth.
