Illuminate Bath

Illuminate Bath 25 – 28 January 2012: A free festival transforming the city's streets over four evenings from 5-8pm.

Following on from a successful first festival last November, Illuminate Bath returns, from Wednesday 25 to Saturday 28 January 2012, bringing beautiful and engaging projected artworks to the city centre. Banishing the gloom of January’s long evenings, this ‘festival of light’ will include a number of original installations in public spaces, all of which will be completely free for the public to explore.

With something to captivate all ages, the festival will include work by international and local artists, alongside art created by Bath school children and Art & Design students from Bath Spa University.

The highlight of Illuminate Bath 2012 will undoubtedly be Clockwork City created by Greyworld, an artists’ collective which has created mesmerising public art works across the world. Greyworld has created work in London, Warsaw and Bangkok and is currently working on a special commission in St. Petersburg. For the Bath multi-venue installation, visitors will find that large keys have been mysteriously attached to street furniture such as bins and benches. When turned, the keys will trigger lights, projected images and sounds, magically bringing the dark street to life.

Further information about the festival can be found on the website www.illuminatebath.org
