Dear artists and collectives,

The Open Call for the Goldstücke 2025 Light Art Festival is now open!

From 2 to 5 October 2025, the Buer district city centre in Gelsenkirchen will once again be transformed into an atmospheric stage for artistic light interventions. We invite individual artists and interdisciplinary teams to submit new concepts or existing light artworks that can be well adapted to the urban environment.

This year’s edition follows the theme “Active Positive,” inspired by architect Oskar Hansen’s concept of “Open Form.” We wish to promote a shared, optimistic engagement with our built environment, encouraging participation and dialogue through light art.

Submission deadline: Friday, 6 July 2025, 23:59 (CET)

More information about the open call can be found at: https://www.genius-loci-weimar.org/en/goldstücke-en.html

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
