Asia’s leading sustainable light festival will return for its 11th edition to showcase light art installations at Marina Bay and its neighbouring precincts from 30 May to 22 June 2025. 

Every edition, i Light Singapore invites artists to explore various forms of sustainability and sustainable living – of environment, economy and culture – and examine how light art can create conversations about our lifestyles, decision making and the community.

The curatorial theme of i Light Singapore 2025, To Gather, calls for innovative light art installations that draw inspiration from the colour red in moving the human collective.
