Posted on: 07 Jul 2023

Attracting more than 250,000 visitors each year, the Bristol festival has a reputation for show-stopping immersive experiences at iconic locations all over the city.

 

Bristol Light Festival runs at various sites from Friday 2 to Sunday 11 February 2024.

 

This year, festival organisers are offering local, national, and international artists a high-profile platform to showcase the very best in installation art with last year’s installations including the likes of ‘Continuum’, Marcus Lyall's ‘Scream the House Down’, PYTCH’s ‘Beam’ and many more exciting pieces.

 

Those interested can register their interest HERE.

 

 

Next year’s festival will run across ten days and two weekends, offering Bristol a captivating journey through the city illuminated by a series of stunning light installations, accompanied by shopping, dining, and exploring.

 

Bristol Light Festival celebrates artistic freedom as well as experimentation, giving artists a platform to push boundaries, think creatively and breathe life into innovative ideas. The festival is looking for light artists, painters, sculptors, architects, performers and any other artistic disciplines who will bring a unique perspective to the festival’s 2024 edition.

 

Speaking about the festival’s call to artists, Katherine Jewkes (Creative Director at Bristol Light Festival) has said:

 

“At Bristol Light Festival we love to support artists and makers from all disciplines who are excited to bring their playful and radical ideas to light. We’re looking for installations that will challenge our audiences and that will change the way our community both remembers and responds to our city spaces. 

 

Some of my favourite past commissions have come through previous open calls. With the city as our playground, I can’t wait to see what ideas are presented as part of this call-out process.”

Students and institutions are also invited to apply to collaborate with the festival curation team. Prospective artists who are interested in submitting their work should register their interest HERE.
