Full details and the artworks taking part in the event will be unveiled in December.
Pippa Dale, Associate-Director Arts & Events at CWG says, “Winter Lights started as a glowing idea to brighten the dark January nights and bring joy through art to Londoners. Over the past decade, the idea has grown and grown, transforming into the capital’s most ambitious light art festival, with this year’s DREAMSCAPE theme representing our boldest vision yet.”
