After our Mother’s Day dinner in Croton-on-Hudson, we ventured over to the Van Cortlandt Mansion for a true visual delight – eye candy like you’ve never seen! LIGHTSCAPES is a walk-through, land-art experience. State-of-the-art illumination highlights these incredible works of art and showcase Van Cortlandt Manor’s gorgeous natural landscape and specimen trees. Recycled elements serve as eco-friendly building blocks for intergalactic flora and friendly woodland creatures.

 

Otherworldly mushrooms, immense insects, and brilliant butterflies light the night sky.

Working with longtime musical mate Charlie de Saint Phalle, the pair, who perform together in the Fluid Druids, spent the winter creating an epic mix of melodious spring friendly ear candy to give LIGHTSCAPES its incredible sounds. Part funk, part classical, part space rock, it’s all unique to LIGHTSCAPES. You will be immersed in it all as you walk through this incredible experience perfect for everyone of any age. The show is running through the end of May – don’t miss it – get your tickets here: https://goo.gl/3f0wqi
