Get your glowsticks out because i Light Singapore will illuminate Marina Bay once again this June. The dazzling festival makes its grand return after two-year hiatus and will be open daily from 3 to 26 June 2022.
Touted as Asia’s leading sustainable light festival, the event welcomes visitors to immerse in the creative artworks of professional and student artists and pick up on sustainability and inspire environmentally-friendly habits in the process.
Starting this year, each edition of the festival will be anchored on a colour from the visible light spectrum, which comprises different wavelengths to symbolise various ways of seeing and understanding the world. This year's theme is Spark of Light, and the festival will be anchored by the colour violet. The colour has the shortest wavelength with the most powerful electromagnetic energy in the visible light spectrum and also signifies the awakening of the senses, akin to the spark of an idea in one’s mind.

An open call was sent out in 2019, searching for imaginative artworks centered on sustainability and the environment. Due to the cancellation of the festival in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these artworks will finally be showcased this year. The spell-binding artworks include Alone Together by Singaporean artist Ping Lim and her American collaborator, Ian Grossberg, as well as Fallen by South Korean artist group Nerdist x ARTINA.
i Light Singapore 2022 will be held from 3 to 26 June 2022, 7.30 pm to 11.00 pm daily, with extended hours to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
