Artist Commission for Light Night Worcester 2021

Following the success of the very first edition of Light Night Worcester, which received an enthusiastic welcome from thousands of attendees, Light Night Worcester 2021 will be taking place across the city for 3 nights from 21st-23rd January.

We are seeking to commission a selection of artists to create a number of projection-based new work which responds directly to the festival theme of ‘future’. Your work must last the duration of each evening’s event (6pm-11pm) either continuously as one piece or looped.

The chosen proposals will be produced in conjunction with the Arches Festivals team. The work must be new and original and not something that has taken place before. We are seeking proposals of varying scale from a broad range of digital artists.

We are open to creative ways in which audiences could engage with your work via digital devices, such as their phones or tablets.

Please submit your creative response (no more than two sides of A4) to the above brief to festivals@severnarts.org.uk along with:

•             A detailed budget for the making of the work including artist fees.

•             A separate budget detailing projection/technical delivery costs (if these are known).

Please note, there is no upper limit on budgets.

At Severn Arts we are committed to improving our sustainability, please also include a line in your submission detailing how you will make the project with this in mind.

Proposals we feel fit with our theme will be taken into development throughout summer/autumn ahead of the festival in January 2021.
