Llum BCN 25 | Light Arts Festival

Llum BCN

Llum BCN is a premier European light arts festival and a cultural event close to the hearts of the people of Barcelona. Organised by Barcelona City Council, Llum BCN reaches its fourteenth edition with an artistic programme that turns urban spaces into a new stage highlighting the possibilities of the language of light in transforming public spaces, with artistic projects based on photography, audiovisual elements, design, architecture, stage design, the digital arts and contemporary art, in a demonstration of the infinite creative possibilities of light.

Over three days, the Poblenou neighbourhood and the areas around Pl. Glòries will be the epicentre of the city’s cultural activity. This year you’ll find fifteen installations by international artists, projects from seventeen design, art and architecture schools in the city, eleven installations by local artists in residence in Poblenou and various other creations at cultural and business facilities.

The last edition of the Barcelona Light Arts Festival attracted over 240,000 visitors.
