FOUR Event & Experience Design students from the School of Music and Fine Art have been awarded paid apprenticeships to work on the prestigious London Lumiere this weekend. The students with apprenticeships are: Charlotte Harding Year 3, Shu Xin Wong (Sushi) Year 2, Greta Pencheva Year 2, and Elaiza Santos Ferreira Year 1.

Described as the biggest-ever light festival to hit the capital, the event is produced by Artichoke, a creative company that works with artists “to invade our public spaces and put on extraordinary and ambitious events that live in the memory forever.” Supported by the Mayor of London, for four evenings in January a host of international artists will illuminate the city from 6:30pm to 10:30pm each night.

Discover iconic architecture transformed with 3D projections, interactive installations and other extraordinary light works in a programme that responds to the unique architecture of each location. Lumiere London 2016 is spread across four of London’s most exciting areas: King’s Cross; Mayfair; Piccadilly, Regent Street and St James’s; and Trafalgar Square and Westminster.

Kate Harvey, an Artichoke Producer, will be visiting the School of Music and Fine Art to talk to EED 1st Year students this term.
