Urban Video Project (UVP), a program of Light Work in partnership with the Everson Museum of Art and Onondaga County, is an outdoor architectural projection program dedicated to the public presentation of experimental film, video and electronic art, adding a new chapter to Central New York’s legacy as one of the birthplaces of media art using cutting-edge technology.

Light Work UVP presents a large-scale architectural projection on the famous Everson Museum of Art, which was renowned architect I.M. Pei’s first museum design. The projection can be viewed from the adjacent community plaza over a large reflecting pool. The Everson is located in downtown Syracuse at 401 Harrison Street at the corner of Harrison and South State Streets, across from the OnCenter War Memorial Arena.

The Urban Video Project projection runs from dusk to 11pm, Thursday through Saturday during exhibition dates.

Light Work UVP also presents indoor and outdoor media art events at various locations. For a complete listing of upcoming UVP events, please visit UVP Events.
