Fête des Lumières 2018: the call for projects is open!

 

The City of Lyon invites artists and creators to submit their proposals for the next edition of its world-famous Fête des Lumières. The call for submissions will close in the beginning of May.

 

The call concerns two programmes that will run concurrently during the festival: the Grands Projets and the Emergence.

  • The installations for the Grands Projets will be displayed in locations such as the Saint-Jean Cathedral (see photo) or the city hall square, Place Louis Pradel.
  • For the Emergence programme, the organisers are looking for installations or animations that induce participation, conviviality, surprise, and a festive spirit. This programme encourages up-and-coming artists and emerging talents to use city spaces as creative laboratories.

The submissions for the Grands Projets are considered as public procurement contracts by the City. The complete list of locations and the official offers are published on the dedicated website of the City of Lyon.

Deadline:

  • Grands Projets”: Thursday 3 May 2018
