Vancouver’s West End will once again light up with exciting art installations and community events this year with the return of the annual Lumière event.
With a full week of programming in the West End that includes things like dance parties, pop-up ping pong (from public space visionaries frida&frank), DJs, live mural painting, and more, Lumière aims to bring the community together with this free arts festival.
Running Dec. 2-9, Lumière will feature visually exciting pieces of art, including Luna the whale by MK Illuminations. This year, MK Illuminations will have a tree set up in English Bay for the event, and once again the festival is crowd-sourcing a name for the art.
Here’s a full list of the featured artwork:
• Sham–Real Shadows by Trevor Van den Eijnden
• Sol and his Cubes at the Dancehall by Chris Mills
• Blue by Khan Lee
• Luminous Birds by Kathy Hinde, produced by Cryptic Glasgow
• Shine with Pride by Tangible Interaction, curated by Burrard Arts Foundation
• Postures in Protest by Erdem Ta?delen, curated by Burrard Arts Foundation
• The Limitation of Words to Describe Feelings by Hfour, curated by Jamie Hughes
