Enlighten MCR Pilot Festival of Light Art, December 2014

Enlighten Manchester Pilot Festival of Light Art took place during four nights in December 2014 when Curated Place took it’s Northern Lights Project home to Manchester. Preparing the ground for a major outing in 2015 to sit alongside the UNESCO International Year of Light – the team delivered the festival in collaboration with city wide partners. Despite days of fighting a ‘weather bomb’ during our set-up we illuminated Piccadilly Gardens and Manchester Art Gallery with a series of work by local and international artists.

The Pilot was supported by Arts Council England, Nordic Culture Point, Havas Lynx and Castlefield Gallery in partnership with Manchester City Council, Heart of Manchester BID and Manchester Art Gallery.
