Light Up The North
November 2024


Across two weekends in November, 11 emerging light artists from across the UK were guided through a bespoke programme of workshops, talks, and guided tours from artists presenting work in one of Light Up The North’s partner festivals.

Light Up Lancaster (7-9 Nov) had a fantastic array of works, I loved hearing artists speak more about their process and how their pieces work. We finished the weekend with a workshop on projection mapping from Sumit Sarkar, and discussion on the benefits of trying unexpected art forms.

Light Up Wigan (21-23 Nov) also had a brilliantly-curated selection of works, run by Things That Go On Things. Artists Lou Chapelle and Jack Cheeseborough led us through their works, and Jude Jagger took us on a fantastic tour of the festival.
