ILO, International Light Festivals Organisation

ILO, International Light Festivals Organization, is an alliance of light festivals, light events, mapping festivals or similar light art-related events sharing expertise, inspiration and information on an international level, encouraging networking and exchange of knowledge, experience and information and creating a platform for co-production, research and communication. The aim is to enhance quality, strength and artistic content for participating in light festivals and create awareness for light festivals and light art worldwide. Light festivals are events at the crossroads of art, design, technology and entertainment which gives them a very specific position from a festival point of view as well as in a cultural context and as a city marketing tool. ILO wants to strengthen the position of light festivals on the level of artistic excellence, and stimulate international corporations and sustainable operations.
