An international light art festival for Riyadh.

The first iteration of the festival consisted of 33 installations spread across the city, special events, and a major exhibition of light art featuring 30 stand out artworks. DPM collaborated closely with National Talents and the Royal Commission for Riyadh City on the delivery of the festival and is now working towards next year’s events.
