A captivating evening, capturing the creativity of local and UK artists to transform Bournemouth’s Central Gardens into an enchanting landscape of interactive art installations.

Leave the busy centre of Bournemouth behind and discover an enchanting side to the gardens, often thought of as an intimidating place at night, as they are transformed into a spectacular interactive environment using a variety of site-specific light works, illuminations and projections.

The event will showcase the talents of artists from across the country and upcoming artists from The Arts University College Bournemouth. Information on the artists can be found in the ‘Artist’ section of this website.

The event has been created with the idea of taking the gardens back for the community of Bournemouth. Instead of being seen as an intimating place, LumenOrtis wants to showcase the beauty of the gardens by transforming the space into a light spectacle. By illuminating the gardens, it creates a safer place for Bournemouth and a space for people to enjoy during day or night.

Sustainability

The event is being run on Orion solar-powered generators from Firefly Solar to create as little impact as possible on the environment. The lights are only on for three hours therefore using as little energy as possible. Many of the works of art are made of recycled materials and use LED lights to encourage the green theme. Being green can create amazing works of art. Come join in our community project and turn an old can into a lantern that can become part of the exhibition.
