Open Call for Light Up Kilburn 2026: Outdoor Light Installations

Are you an artist, designer or architect working with outdoor light installations? Hive Curates invites local and national artists to submit expressions of interest for Light Up Kilburn 2026. Help us illuminate Kilburn Grange Park during one of the darkest winter months and create a unifying space for the local community.  

Taking place across two evenings in February 2026, Light Up Kilburn will transform Kilburn Grange Park into a captivating immersive experience of light. Hive Curates and Camden Council invites artists to submit proposals for outdoor light installations. Artists are encouraged to respond to the festival’s themes of biodiversity and women’s night-time safety, both with the aim of uniting communities. We welcome submissions in the form of existing artworks and new ideas, with particular interest in proposals that consider community engagement. There are a number of opportunities available for this open call.
