wings, glowing halo and colored lighting that form Angels of Freedom, the artwork by OGE Group of Haifa, Israel that encourages passers-by to imagine a seraphic form of themselves. The installation, which appeared in the 2020 Napa Lighted Art Festival, debuted with seven other works in the festival's fourth edition. Napa Lighted Art Festival 2022
Each of the seven seed-pod like heads of illuminated tubes in the installation Electric Dandelions, on display at Napa's Riverfront for the city's fourth annual Lighted Art Festival, produces changing color patterns that pulsate through the tubes. Howard Yune, RegisterNapa Lighted Art Festival 2022
Cloud Swings, a trio of swing sets with cloud-like canopies, debuted Saturday night outside CIA at Copia on First Street as part of the fourth Napa Lighted Art Festival. The artwork's New Orleans-based creator Lindsay Glatz describes it as partly a "love letter" to her husband and partly a tribute to her grandmother, a textile artist and painter.

One of the more distinctive pieces in this year's Napa Lighted Art Festival is the Napa artist Vincent Connors' work Suspensions, a group of lantern-like sacks sewn from crocheted blankets and hung from the branches of an oak in the First Street Napa shopping arcade.

Downtown visitors strolled through Veterans Memorial Park on Main Street for a closer look at Lightforms, one of eight installations comprising the fourth annual Napa Lighted Art Festival. The set of five sculptures created by Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu of the Los Angeles-based Hybycozo incorporates combinations of repeated geometric shapes and mathematical patterns, and its 11-foot-tall centerpiece is inspired by the geodesic domes penned by the inventor R. Buckminster Fuller. Howard Yune, RegisterNapa Lighted Art Festival 2022

Full Metal Poppy, a sculpture by Jacques Lesec on display in front of the historic Goodman Library on First Street, is one of four works in this year's Napa Lighted Arts Festival to be created by a Napa-based artist. The outdoor gallery debuted Saturday night and will be displayed through March 13, as organizers move toward a longer event with fewer works in order to spread out spectators as a safeguard against COVID-19.

The colored illumination within the five sculptures comprising Lightforms, the artwork on display at Veterans Memorial Park, mirrored the work's intricately cut geometric patterns onto the pavement of the park amphitheater. Lightforms is one of eight works to be showcased at the fourth annual Napa Lighted Art Festival, which began Saturday and will continue nightly through March 13.
