Illuminate Adelaide is set to light up and take over Adelaide's city streets, laneways and buildings in July 2021.
The event will run over two weeks and three weekends, during the traditionally quieter winter months. Illuminate celebrates the union between future technology and creative industries.
The programme will be made up of free and ticketed events for all ages, with projects exclusive to Adelaide.
Rachael Azzopardi and Lee Cumberlidge join forces as Co-Founders and Creative Directors of Illuminate Adelaide, working in collaboration with cultural, academic and science institutions. Local, national and international makers and artists will be featured throughout.
"Here in South Australia, there is so much extraordinary work happening and so many talented and incredible innovators in the areas of future technologies, arts and creative industries," Rachael Azzopardi and Lee Cumberlidge say.
"After attaining support from the government in May, we have been building a team of dedicated individuals who have already started working on the crucial aspects of the inaugural 2021 event, we are really excited to announce initial programming elements later in the year.
"Illuminate Adelaide, with the support of the State Government, will provide a platform and vital new opportunities to bring these sectors together and showcase them in a collaborative celebration for all South Australians and visitors to the state."
Illuminate aims to serve as an opportunity to unify existing winter events and activations.
