Lumiere Durham: Search for new light art ideas in £50k commissioning initiative
Members of the public are being asked for creative ideas for this year's Lumiere Festival in Durham.
Artichoke, the production company behind the event, has launched BRILLIANT, a £50,000 nationwide commissioning scheme for new works for the UK's leading light art event.
Six ideas will be made, with the works to be shown alongside those of internationally-renowned artists.
The festival is commissioned by Durham County Council and will take place in Durham from Thursday 18 – Sunday 21 November 2021.
The number of commissions stands at six, with three still reserved for people who are based in the North East region, while the extended scheme will support three more commissions from across the country.
Successful artists have made work using recycled objects including glass washed up from the ocean, and supersized everyday objects including knitting needles, desk lamps and a Slinky.
Applications will close at 9am on Thursday 11 February 2021.
