The Festival provides experimentation programs, as well as needs of specific technical, research and information that is consistant with Arts and Education projects having to do with Solar energy and the creation of Clean energy. The propose of this project is to promote the solar energy solar based arts and make a reality of a solar festival on the mall in Washington D.C. Washington D.C.is well known for its appreciation for arts. The Mall features the massive Smithsonion Institution museums and The National Galleries of art.

To create an annual Solar Art festival with educational benefits we will work with the talented student, parents and teachers of local, PTA's and school systems to design the educational program. We will Construct the Artworks and student programs that will be used... We will involve students in the creation process both at home and away.. And we will Create a video Documentary of the Festival creation and activities We will produce the prototype educational Solar Art Festival- cu rating Arts for annual events and provide considerable educational benefits to it's student participants with diverse subject matter including planetary motion, electromagnetic radiation, and color theory. The project, once initiated should be able to travel as an educational exhibit The Plan is to produce the primary Solar Art works and educational programs that would then be used in the Festival. The first is the 1000 points of light project, It uses 1000 color mirrors that are hand held to produce a stunning live performance art. 2nd, The Solar chronograph image producing clock. Our team of students, Artist, scientist, and volunteers will produce coordinated stunning day time images. The Solar Chronograph has arrangements making it adaptable and mobile. Finally we Create a video Documentary of the Festival creation and activities as they happen, that then also will be used in the festival and Future Festivals The Light Brigade Project Needs You!
