The association
Copenhagen Light Festival
The festival is a non-profit association founded by Tivoli, Stromma, VNR.tv and Louis Poulsen / D Studio Copenhagen. With Copenhagen as a backdrop the association seeks to introduce and present light art in interaction with the city’s distinctiveness, darkness and aesthetics.
The daily work on the festival is done by the secretariat who assists the board, collaborates with artists and hosts and supports the curatorial committee in their work with the festival program.
The members of the curatorial committee are appointed by the board and have backgrounds within light art, lighting design, architectural lighting, light events and art history. The committee allocates the association’s funds to projects, artists and hosts on the basis of an assessment of the festival’s overall expression, the location of the art piece, and interaction with the city and the other art pieces.
