We are inviting light art proposals for one of the key locations at Light Up Lancaster – the historic Priory Church. All projects should have light as an integral feature of the work and must be suitable for a family audience. We are inviting proposals from artists working with light to respond to this beautiful, historic space. Your proposal could be for an existing work which can be effectively re-sited or a completely new piece.

Location: Priory Church, Lancaster LA1 1YZ

The commission is for Light Up Lancaster 2023.

Each year, Light Up Lancaster creates a magical trail of light art illuminating and celebrating the city's magnificent landscapes, architecture and the heritage of the people who live there.

The festival, across 3 nights, delivers an enchanting, free, family friendly trail of discovery in a series of interlinked light installations located across Lancaster, transforming the city with captivating site-specific light art, music and performance from local, national and international artists.

A maximum fee of up to £12,000 is available for the selected commission. All costs of the installation must be included in this fee. Some technical support, provided by the Light Up Lancaster production team, will be available for the successful application.
