The Light in Winter
Federation Square established a new winter festival and celebration for Melbourne centred around light. Local and international artists and communities will come together over the next 5 years as the event grows, to create light objects and events to enlighten the City and warm it's seasonally chilled heart. As a result Federation Square will glow with a light that will be noticed across the world.
The Light in Winter is created for Federation Square by Robyn Archer, former Artistic Director of Melbourne International Arts Festival and one of Australia 's best loved artists.
The Light in Winter inaugural event, the Gift of Light , took place in August 2007 with six communities each working with artists to realise an artistic representation of their light. They then presented it to the Square and the broader community in ceremonies which saw the gifts remain at the site for 2 weeks.
Pinnacle Production Services was the presenting partner to the festival and provided all Audio, Visual and Lighting equipment.
