Open call for Copenhagen Light Festival
Open Call for Copenhagen Light Festival 2022 will open during 2021
If you have a work, a lighting installation or just an idea for an experience that you want to become part of Copenhagen Light Festival’s artistic program you can apply during Open Call.
Together we will enrich Copenhagen’s dark February streets with artistic initiatives and illuminating experiences that will, for a time, stage the city’s architecture, squares, small alleys and perhaps unknown places in a unique, ingenious or magnificent way.
Your work will be part of the Copenhagen Light Festival’s official program, exposed in national and international media and experienced by Copenhagen’s citizens and visitors.
What are we looking for?
A work can be an outdoor illuminating object or a light source that illuminates an existing building or space. A work can also be an interaction in light or a video projection on, or in, a media. All works must be visible at a distance and give the viewer a visual experience. You should take into account that the climate is a challenge and that correct brightness and scale are required for the audience to have the full experience.
