ABOUT LIGHT UP POOLE FESTIVAL MAP

Join the conversation #LightUpPoole18

Light Up Poole is a unique digital Light Art Festival aiming to transform Poole’s Town Centre after dark from 15 to 17 February 2018. The programme is diverse, combining light art and digital installations with interactive engagement activities in partnership with leading cultural organisations. Designed to inspire, delight and emotionally resonate with local communities and out of season visitors. It will be a platform for regional, national, and international artists to showcase their work, illuminate, and celebrate the town’s cultural diversity, heritage, and unique location. This project will challenge residents and visitors perceptions of art enabling those who might not always participate to engage with artistic practice.

As darkness falls, using the theme ‘Identity’, Poole will tell its story as a narrative seen through the artist’s eyes using projections, interactive light, and sound.
