How can I as an artist participate in the festival?

Approximately 9 months before a new festival edition we hold an Open Call, during which creatives from all around the world can submit a concept for a light artwork. After a careful selection procedure, 20-30 concepts will be chosen and created under the guidance of the festival. Read more about our work method here.

Can I participate as an artist in the upcoming edition(s)?

No, the Open Call for Edition 12 and Edition 13 have been closed. Keep an eye out on this page for updates.

Do you work with educational institutions?

Yes, since the beginning of our festival we have been active in enthusing a new generation about (light) art. In diverse programs we focus on primary, secondary and higher education. Read more about the projects here and how you can be a part of it!
