THROUGH July 30th • Park at Old School Square • OPEN ALL DAY AND NIGHT

"Journey Through Time at the Square" (LAPS) is a touring interactive art installation making its Southeast debut right here in Downtown Delray Beach. The giant hourglasses light up and rotate for an interactive experience and will be showcased in the Park at the Square for more than 6 weeks!

The colorful, interactive, and playful installation, which features six giant hourglass modules that reach nearly eight feet in height, will debut in Florida with its arrival on Thursday, June 22. The exhibit is part of “Summer at the Square,” a months-long series of exciting summer happenings at Old School Square in downtown Delray Beach.

LAPS: A Journey Through Time Art Installation

The hourglass exhibit will be on display at the Park at Old School Square in Downtown Delray Beach, and be on view from 8am - 11pm day and night, through July 30, 2023. The art pieces will give guests a chance to turn time forward and backward as they maneuver a small wheel on each hourglass at their own pace. Vivid lights and sounds will radiate from the pieces as the sand glides back and forth in motion to mark time saved and spent at the location. The message of the installation is that because everyone gets to choose the time they want to spend at the exhibit, each is a keeper of their own passage of time.

“A Journey Through Time at Old School Square” installation is part of an ongoing series of activations designed to create moments of surprise and delight at Old School Square.

The LAPS exhibit was designed and created in Montreal, Canada in 2022 by Olivier Landreville, with sound and light design by Serge Maheu. Structure and engineering were provided by Maintenance Industries Meca-Fab Inc. The interactive installation is owned by Init and is a part of a tour produced by Creos. Prior to its appearance in Delray Beach, Florida, LAPS was presented in Montreal, Canada; Des Moines, ID; Ottawa, Canada; and Denver, CO.

LAPS is presented by the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority and The City of Delray Beach.
