Light art around the city

Theme of Loistava Lappeenranta week is light art. You can admire buildings bathed in twilight, seasonal street lights, shop windows decorated with lights and enjoy different kinds of light art.

The light works have been created by professional artists Aleksandra Hintsala, the artist group Äärellinen Joukko, Antti Nieminen and the South Karelian Artists' Association.

- In addition, a number of companies, associations and private individuals took up the light challenge and their light creations are also on display around Lappeenranta,
