Light installations 2026

Allt ljus på Uppsala 2026 lights up the city centre with thirteen unique light installations, created by international artists from around the world.

In addition, our partner Cube of Art presents a special installation in their venue in Juvelen.

This year’s theme is Courage. Patience. – a reminder that a sustainable future requires the courage to challenge the familiar and the patience to keep going, even when progress comes in small steps.

Be inspired, moved and surprised – explore this year’s light artworks here.
