Every year, Amsterdam’s city center is lit up by dozens of innovative and high quality light art installations from (inter)national artists during the Amsterdam Light Festival. Since 2012, the Amsterdam Light Festival has realized over 270 art works, growing into one of Europe’s principal light art festivals. After the festival, part of the works created specifically for Amsterdam become part of a permanent collection that travels around the world.
