GRAND RAPIDS — The Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts hopes to eclipse winter’s darkness with a new exhibit, “Beacons: An Exhibition of Luminous Art.”

UICA last year launched a national campaign inviting artists to light up the various rooms and galleries inside the facility at 41 Sheldon Blvd. SE.

The show, which runs through Feb. 13, features 33 local and national artists who use film and video projections, light installations, sound installations, images, objects and more to visually and physically ignite the UICA.

Artists include: Michelle Acuff, Dave Beck, Benjamin Bellas, Collin Bradford, Tiffany Carbonneau, Kia Carscallen, Hunter Cole, Annica Cuppetelli, Yi Joanna Dai, Mary Rachel Fanning, Adam Farcus, Tannaz Farsi, Laura Foster, Mahlon Huston, Louise Kames, Marina Kelly, Geoffrey Krawczyk, Richard Krueger, Robin Mandel, Evan Mann, Cristobal Mendoza, Daniel Olsen, Brian Peters, Nicole Pietrantoni, Randy Polumbo, Meghan Reynard, Alex Schlegel, Michael Sirianni, Ben Skinner, Scott Stibich, Annie Strader, Briana Trudell, Renee van der Stelt, and Jessica Westbrook.
