Starting from December 12, the walking trail "Winter Light Garden" will be opened in the Botanical Garden of the University of Latvia. The magical fairy tale "Winter Light Garden" will be a distant walk in which the best Latvian lighting artists will transform the world around them.

It will be possible to see 20 light installations created by the best Latvian lighting designers, who have gained experience in theaters, the event industry, cinema and multimedia projects. "This time is not easy for lighting professionals in Latvia - their work has been limited since March, but every artist needs creativity - a remote walking trail will give lighting artists the opportunity to meet their spectators remotely," says Marcis Gulbis, the author of the project.

Lighting installations in the light walk will be created by Kārlis Kaupužs, Kaspars Hercmanis, Jūlija Bondarenko, Andrejs Dubkovs, Jānis Pētersons, Vilnis Valle, Kārlis Ozoliņš, Oskars Timbars, Those Guys Lighting, Kristaps Bunga, Harijs Zālītis, Patriks Piternieks, Kalvis Kampenuss, Rihards Popovs and other light artists.

After visiting the walking trail, visitors will be able to vote for one of the light installations - 9% of each ticket proceeds will go to the author of the light installation (or a charity project of his choice) for which the visitor will vote.
