Call for projects for the 2026 edition

Several schemes are open to applications:

1/ Call for Fête des Lumières projects

If you're an independent artist or a collective, a student, a young creator or an established artist, working with an association, an institution or a company, a stakeholder from Lyon or elsewhere, this call for projects is for you!

Selected projects may be financed with grants from the City of Lyon (for associations) or sponsorship (for associations or companies).

We're looking for artists with an approach to light, object formats, installations and experiments, for projects that are contemplative, interactive or immersive, that play with and divert public space, mainly outdoors, but sometimes indoors too.

This call for projects, dedicated to the diverse horizons of contemporary lighting design is available here:
