We’re looking for an ambitious Light Artist, Designer, Fabricator or Creative Collective to help shape Light Works 2026 – our growing programme of community-led winter light festivals across West Cumbria.
Light Up Wigan and Barnsley Bright Nights have an international residency opportunity for two light artists or curators based in Europe (excluding the UK) to visit their light festivals this November.
We wish to appoint a Programme Lead to support us to deliver an exciting programme of activities across the next two years, consolidating the extremely successful period of growth in our membership and partnership working.
We have officially launched applications for our SPARK 2026 Programme, offering a unique opportunity for early-career creatives to learn and understand more about the exciting world of light festivals.
