Description

Southend LuminoCity is a light festival that initially took place over three nights during February 2022 to celebrate Southend's newly awarded City Status. The event was spearheaded by Southend Tourism Partnership and saw ten large-scale installations transform Southend, inviting residents and visitors to experience the city in a new light. The event was a huge success and saw just over 200,000 visitors flock to the city over three days despite the worse storm to hit the City in 30 years. Southend Tourism Partnership have announced that the festival will return for three nights during February 2023, and is looking to large scale light installations to exhibit at the 2023 festival. We're looking for statement pieces that will wow audiences while considering and incorporating Southend City's architecture and infrastructure. Southend LuminoCity will take place along the length of the high street; locations for installations include under the railway bridge and outside the Forum space. Artworks must be robust, weather resilient, wind resistant (of gusts up to 40mph) and of mid to large scale. They should be accessible to all audiences and must consider the visitors' experience and interaction with the artwork.
