 ABOUT

 

Umbra Light Festival Vitoria-Gasteiz is an annually organized light festival held in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz during the shortest days of the year. The festival, which second edition is going to take place in November 2021, was born with the intention of introducing visitors and citizens to light art in the public realm, allowing them to experiment and engage with the latest cultural expressions and technologies. The festival program is centred on the exhibition of visual and digital arts, urban interventions, and new technologies.
