Get Lit: Introduction to Exhibition Lighting with Ron Tu

Lighting plays a significant role in exhibition design, and at its best can accentuate not only artworks, but also the overall presentation and storytelling. Learn how to make use of lighting to best showcase your art, and clearly communicate your needs to lighting designers and technicians.

Geared towards artists and curators installing their own shows, this workshop covers the theoretical and practical applications of lighting design and how it can enhance an exhibition. Complete with practical tips, case studies and live demonstrations, it will provide an introduction to best practices in lighting design, including differences in lighting fixtures, and considerations for adjustments and installation.

Please note you will be asked during the registration to submit a short response on how the workshop will be relevant and useful to your practice, as well as any specific topics you would like to learn about. As spaces are limited, priority will be given to those who will benefit most from the session.
