Artichoke is inviting anyone aged 18+ who is currently living in the UK to submit their bright idea for new light works for Lumiere 2023. The UK’s light art biennial will take place from 16-19 November 2023 in Durham.

The national commissioning scheme aims to encourage creativity across the UK as well as highlight brilliant ideas from people living in or originally from the North East. Successful applicants will be supported by Artichoke with the production costs and technical expertise to create and install their artwork at specific locations.

Successful applicants will receive:
⭐ A fee of up to £1,000
⭐ An international platform to exhibit your light work
⭐ Support from an Artichoke Producer and Production Manager to realise your BRILLIANT idea
And more...

You don’t need to be a practising artist or have any previous experience to apply to BRILLIANT. You just need a bright idea. 💫

Who can apply?
- Anyone aged over 18
- Anyone currently living in the UK

The closing date for applications is Sunday 19 February 2023, 11:59pm.

Artichoke is committed to broadening the diversity of those working in the medium of light art and encourages applications from people who are currently under-represented in our BRILLIANT alumni, including people of colour and people who identify as d/Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent.
