Locations

Delaney Park Strip

The majority of the installations (eleven of fourteen) will be on the Delaney Park Strip between E and I streets. The sound art of Ethan Rose and Matthew Burtner will only be on January 9 and 10.

The Delaney Park Strip is an 11-block park in the municipality of Anchorage, running along 9th and 10th Avenues. It provides an open area for recreation and community events in an urban setting. The Strip is also historically important, as it was originally Anchorage’s airfield and represented the edge of the city. Today it represents the southern boundary of downtown.
