Illuminate Light Art & Technology Festival – Call for Artists
ILLUMINATE is seeking individuals and groups from the art and technology sectors to create and/or display installations using light as their medium. Think BIG! (projection art, 3D sculptures, glowing performance art, augmented reality). ILLUMINATE will be headquartered at The Gateway, the surrounding architecture is the canvas with which you can create!
Existing and new installations and projects will be considered. Funds are available to support selected projects. The festival also has a shared resource program with access to donated materials, equipment and building space. If you have questions about the event or the artist selection process, contact Kim Angeli kim@utaharts.org.
