Light Nights festival

The Seventh International Festival of Light and Media Art Light Nights will take place at the Gatchina Museum-Reserve (Saint Petersburg, Russia) on the final weekend of summer 2025. 

Light Nights is an immersive nighttime experience that transforms the unique palace park into an open-air exhibition of light and media art. The festival`s mission is to introduce contemporary art to a wide audience through deep emotional and intellectual experiences while also serving as a hub for the development of light and digital art. It provides a platform for debuts, a space for experimentation, and a meeting point for both emerging and established artists.

Artangel Open 2025

Artangel Open is an open call for new ideas.

Over the past two decades, Artangel has invited artists to share ambitious ideas through a number of open calls. The resulting commissions have been ground-breaking with works in performance, film, installation, audio and digital mediums being presented in unexpected places in the UK including under a mountain in Scotland and a quarried island off the Dorset coast, to name a few.

The Open returns in 2025 and invites artists based anywhere in the world to submit their most daring idea. Your idea could manifest in the UK, internationally or online.

Submissions close at midnight BST on 31 March 2025.
