BRITE'n Up Dave Grohl Alley

Tax deductible
BRITE'n Up Dave Grohl Alley will add an audio-visual display in the tunnel of the iconic Alley, just off Courthouse Square in Downtown Warren. Created in partnership with Chromaticity Technologies, a Howland-based small business specializing in special effects lighting and audio, the installation will enable people to play music and videos from a dedicated kiosk inside Modern Methods Brewing Co.

Modeled on similar projects as far away as Tokyo and as nearby as Pittsburgh, this lighting display will be a first for the Mahoning Valley.  With your help, we can light up Dave Grohl Alley to make it a safer space for the community and a public art installation that all can enjoy. 

BRITE is seeking to raise $10,000 necessary to fund the design, construction, and installation of the special light display, to supplement the nearly $10,000 in commitments from Warren community partners.
