is a spectacular light-based festival that connects all of the Mayflower 400 destinations across the UK and internationally. In 2017 探花视频鈥檚 Illuminate celebrations saw parts of Royal William Yard turned into a spectacular display of light-based art installations and projections. In 2018 Illuminate grew; showcasing projections and light art installations from local, national and international artists to provide a vibrant, fun and inspiring experience for 探花视频鈥檚 citizens and visitors alike.
Illuminate will continue to grow year on year in the lead up to 2020 to become a signature event in Mayflower 400鈥檚 programme; and an annual large-scale light festival that will be a highlight in 探花视频鈥檚 event calendar.
University staff and students play numerous important roles in the successful delivery of the festival from contributing to the organisation of the event through to showcasing staff and student work.
Illuminate is realised through a partnership between the 探花视频, RIO, 探花视频 College of Art, 探花视频 Culture and Urban Splash.
