i Light Singapore 2024 open call

Asia’s leading sustainable light festival i Light is calling for applications of light art installations from international artists for its 10th edition, from 31 May to 23 June 2024 at Marina Bay.

For this edition, they invite artists to explore various forms of Sustainability and Sustainable Living – of environment, economy and culture – and examine how light art can create conversations about our lifestyles, decision making and the community. 

The curatorial theme of i Light Singapore 2024, Cyclical Nature, calls for innovative light art installations that draw inspiration from the colour green, associated with nature as well as sustainable concepts such as the circular economy and upcycling. Cyclical Nature reimagines the endless potential of everyday objects that are disposed of and their impact on nature through redesign, restoration, and repurposing.

  • Artist and design fee
  • Selected artwork production costs
  • Additional logistics cost (e.g. air freight, local logistics), if required
