Overview | Luminate

If getting stuck into a load of creative projects and working as a team towards a digital light installation sounds like your thing, then Luminate is for you!

Following the success of our previous Luminate project, we’re back offering a free after-school project designed to provide adults from Crewe an opportunity to get hands-on with a range of creative, digital and art skills including:

    • Coding
    • Electronics
    • Digital Light Art

Participants on the nine-week project will use the skills they learn to create a collaborative digital light artwork. They will then work towards their individual electronic light projects, which will be showcased at an exhibition-style show in a local public space towards the end of March.

We have put together creative light packs for each participant with a range of technology that they will use throughout the project to create their art displays. To enable all participants to continue their learning after the course, these packs are theirs to keep.

This activity is part of the Luminate Project, our collaboration with Crewe libraries and is funded by National Lottery and Arts Council England.
