Iconic Uni of Adelaide Halls join Fringe Illuminations

Thursday, 11 February 2016

The University of Adelaide’s North Terrace campus will be transformed into a living canvas of light, with three of its iconic and historic buildings participating in the Adelaide Fringe’s Fringe Illuminations.

Fringe Illuminations will see the spectacular buildings along North Terrace, including the University’s Mitchell, Elder and Bonython Halls, brought to life with colour, light and movement for the first two weeks of Adelaide Fringe (12-28 February).

Award winning large-sale and architectural projections company, The Electric Canvas, will be creating the artworks, which are sure to dazzle spectators as they walk through the stunning grounds of the University of Adelaide.
