In the framework of the Cultural Radiance project the light art workshop aims to unite light art professionals, emerging artists, and technical innovators in a collaborative environment to explore the cultural and technological dimensions of light as an artistic medium to regenerate abandoned spaces. The 20 selected light artists from all over Europe will have the opportunity to engage in presentations, discussions, and hands-on sessions, culminating in a public showcase event.
