Alluminous

Our work often takes us all over the world, but with this partnership we are delighted to share our curatorial expertise and light artworks with neighbors, just around the corner from Amsterdam. In the Dutch city of Almere, the City Government initiated their first-ever light art festival: Alluminous. We partnered up with them to bring Alluminous from concept to reality.

Light Art Collection’s curator Pam Toonen worked with Allluminous’ curator Ward Janssen to select pieces from our collection to complement and highlight locally made light art. The first edition of Alluminous in 2022 attracted 30,000 visitors, making it a certified success. The festival was expanded in the following year, with even more light art surprises and delights in store.

Nurturing homegrown heroes

Alluminous is a proud breeding ground for artistic talent. Every year, Dutch artists are invited in duo’s to create commissioned artworks: from theatre collective Vis à Vis, to creative fashion studio Maison the Faux, to visual artist Jurjen Alkema.

Our multiannual collaboration with Alluminous enables us to support the vision of these artists who want to elevate their installations to a global standard. By sharing inspiration and expertise, we hope to welcome proudly Almere-made pieces into our collection in the not-too-distant future.
