GOLD RUSH
The Gold Rush installation draws upon Charlotte’s history, brought about by the mining for gold (1799), the minting of gold coins (1836), and now its presence as a banking hot spot. The installation is reminiscent of a metallic sparkle by way of gold mirrored panels that generate shimmering reflections and dancing light patterns on adjacent surfaces as a celebratory event for the I Heart Charlotte Rail Trail Light Festival.
