Llum BCN 26 | Light Arts Festival

Llum BCN, festival of the light arts, returns from 6 to 8 February 2026 and celebrates its fifteenth edition. Organised by the Barcelona Institute of Culture, with lighting designer Maria Güell i Ordis serving as artistic director in collaboration with Austrian curator Birgit Lill-Schnabl.

Come check out 12 installations by internationally renowned artists and 18 from the city’s university schools. With outstanding proposals such as that of the filmmaker Albert Serra (with the sponsorship of the ISE Fair) and of the artist Laia Estruch (with the collaboration of Benito). Also noteworthy is the installation of the creative Studio MO:YA, made up of Roland Mariacher and Werner Huber, with a piece with the collaboration of Barco, the curatorship of Birgit Lill-Schnabl and made with the World Capital of Architecture in Barcelona.

With the theme “Night Landscapes”, the festival will offer a different, magical night-time experience of architecture, stripping it of its functionality and embracing experimentation to explore the full potential of buildings, streets and squares.
