2023 Light Art submissions are now OPEN!
Have you got a bright idea for an illuminated art piece, or maybe you have an existing creation? Our submissions are open for our Trust Horizon Light up Whakatāne festival 28th July - 6 August.
No matter the size or shape, made for the outdoors or inside, we want to see the creativity and engagement your work has. Installations can be made solo or as a group.
Trust Horizon, Light Up Whakatāne inaugural festival event is a collaborative effort by Arts Whakatāne, EPIC town centre group and Whakatāne District Council who are delighted to work together to promote and celebrate Arts, Music, Dance, and activities that highlight and showcase light.

Light activations and digital displays by local and regional artists installed in various locations will be illuminated each evening for ten nights.
