About the Exhibition
As the nights become long over the winter months, the creative uses of light can bring real delight. Echoes of Light explores how artists harness illumination to inspire wonder, warmth, and mystery. This show celebrates the glow that transforms darkness—through sculpture, painting, installation, and multimedia works that bend, reflect, or reveal light in unexpected ways.
In addition to gallery works, this exhibition will include outdoor light art installations to bring brightness and cheer to Skykomish during the darkest season of the year.
We invite submissions of original works in any medium that explore themes of:
- Light-based artworks (lamps, lanterns, neon, LED, sculptural light pieces)
- Projections and video
- Installations incorporating light, indoors or outdoors
- Paintings, photography, or mixed media where light is central to the concep
Eligibility
Open to artists working in all mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, fiber, mixed media, digital art, installation, video, and light-based work. Artists of all experience levels are welcome.
