The Artworks
Birmingham Light Festival will once again transform city spaces into a dazzling open-air gallery. See the city in a different light as you discover these incredible installations across the city centre. Most of the artworks are temporary installations, only in place from 12 - 15 February but 4 of the illuminated artworks, our legacy commissions, will remain in place after the festival, as we seek to brighten city spaces more permanently over time.
