SPECTRUM 14|15

PORTUGAL: The global project consisted in a synergy between the 5 festivals and more concretely in an exchange of artworks, artists, knowledge and technologies. A strong educational collaboration allowed artists assistants to get in contact and work along with internationally renowned artists, children of various countries had the opportunity in participating in workshops lead by artists and create artworks that have been displayed in the 5 light festivals.

With the Spectrum program, the 5 festivals achieved to have bigger and bolder program, more diverse with more international artists, adding conferences and artists talks, for example. A special focus has been done on the interaction of the public with the light works and the fact of being all 5 festivals concentrated on that point helped finding and sharing solutions. Having the possibility to communicate that the EU is participating also gives more credibility to the program in the various countries with the municipalities and various interlocutors. Example: we succeeded in getting a special deal with trains in greater Lisbon for the visitors of the festival to pay 2€ return because the EU implication gives credibility.

POLAND:Spectrum 2014/2015 is a continuation of successful implementation of the project Spectrum 2013. The new edition of Spectrum aimed at creative events in which wide audience can experience new and inspiring ways for working with light. Spectrum 2014/2015 enabled exchange of artworks between EU partner countries and brought together lighting professionals from Europe.
