Island Lanterns

Island Lanterns - A Community Art Project.

The City of Mercer Island presents Island Lanterns, a community art project designed to connect and inspire Islanders through arts and culture. Solar lanterns are available for community members to transform with their creativity and then installed at the Veterans Pergola in Mercerdale Park and the Mercer Island Community Center from February 1 - March 31.

• Lanterns are available for pick up at the MICEC (during operating hours), beginning Monday, January 8. 
• Painted lanterns must be returned to the MICEC by January 31, to be installed on February 1. 
• Come to the MICEC to celebrate Lunar New Year with the Mercer Island Chinese Association on February 11. Lantern painting will occur for another installation for the Community Center. 

This community art project is part of the City’s efforts to use arts and culture to inspire the community, support Island businesses, and activate Mercer Island Town Center in the winter months.
