Why Lights in Alingsas 2020?

Today Lights in Alingsås is the largest light event in northern Europe with 80,000 visitors a year. For restaurants, cafés and other businesses in the town, October has become one of the most prosperous months in the year. Experienced lighting designers from all over the world gather in Alingsås along with 60 international students of lighting design and architecture. Together, they create well lit outdoor environments in just six days.

Lights in Alingsas 2020 workshop:

The workshop teaches theoretical and practical knowledge in lighting design. The main aim is to have a professional lighting designer guide the participants through the complete lighting design process of an actual full-scale project. The workshop week lasts for seven days and is supported by the industry with cutting-edge lighting equipment.

Grants for international lights-students:

• Every year, more than 60 lighting designers and architecture students come to Alingsås to participate in the prestigious workshop organized by the Lights in Alingsås festival.

• But students come from all over the world and for some of them the trip can be expensive. Grants are therefore awarded to some design students who wish to take part in the Lights in Alingsås workshop.

• After a week’s intensive training the students will participate in creating the installations which will make up the Lights in Alingsås light trail.
