EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR WELLINGTON LUX LIGHT FESTIVAL 2015 OPEN NOW!

Wellington LUX 2015 is inviting expressions of interest for its 2015 light festival. We are encouraging any students, creative practitioners and businesses interested in creating exciting light based installations that will illuminate Wellington’s laneways and waterfront for the 9 day festival to apply now!

Wellington LUX is a free public light festival that turns Wellington’s waterfront and laneways into a captivating celebration of light, art, technology and design.

In 2014 the festival showcased a fantastical array of light sculptures that wound their way through an urban light trail within the city’s laneways and then spilt out into a promenade of light installations along the waterfront. These were accompanied by artist talks from national and international artists, designers, and researchers; pop up exhibitions and installations; and fun free activities.

Over 65,000 people attended the event in 2014, and 2015 promises to be even bigger!

Expressions of interest for 2015 will close at midnight NZST on Friday February 13th.

Apply online at http://lux.org.nz and fill in the step-by-step application form on our site.

This project explored spatial design in a possible future Wellington.
