✨ Open Call Alert ✨

We're thrilled to announce that the Open Call has officially launched for i Light Singapore 2025 to gather creatives with a passion for light art in our 11th edition next year.

Every edition, we invite artists to explore the concept of sustainability and sustainable living – of environment, economy and culture – and examine how light art can create conversations about sustainability through our lifestyles, decision making and the community.

The curatorial theme of i Light Singapore 2025, 'To Gather' 🔥, calls for innovative and sustainable light art installations that draw inspiration from the colour red in moving the human collective. As the lifeblood of our collective existence, red is the common thread that binds us all together – a call to embrace unity in diversity.

'To Gather' 🔥 strives to spark conversations, foster vibrant communities and inspire collective action to effect positive change for a more sustainable future. 🌳

Tag your community and spread the word! 🌍
