Over two evenings, Alexander Park turned into a large-scale outdoor exhibition of illuminated installations developed by students at ITMO University. Also, during the festival, artistic groups performed, lighting workshops and lighting shows were held.

“Today we see the results of students’ work from the Creative Light Design School, which aims to create a community which would draw attention to light culture in St. Petersburg. We are not saying that this is one of the most important fields, but we are saying that it is relevant and cool. We hope that people of our city including children will become interested this field and us as a university who prepares such specialists.” – commented Anna Veklich, Rector’s assistant for Public Relations, and Head of Strategic Communications Department at ITMO University.
