A group of Northern Kentucky University students is spending the summer designing an installation on a TANK bus for BLINK this October.

The project explores how bridges, transit routes and human connections link Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.

BLINK is the nation’s largest public light and art event, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The university said this collaboration gives NKU students hands-on experience creating a large-scale public art installation while showcasing the creative talent being developed at NKU.
