We were invited back to programme and produce Light Night Wigan 2022.

We determined to highlight the wonderful heritage buildings the canal side site had to offer - inviting the audience in to Trencherfield Mill for Our Spectral Vision, by Liz West and the incredible Pier 4 for Our Colour Reflection by Liz West and a new exhibition about Wigan’s waterways, botany and the artist’s grandma from Kathy Hinde, Searching for Melilot.

Our light trail also featured artists: Jack Wimperis, who showcased Scintillated Birch Forest - made for Sky Arts in 2021; Chris Plant aka Colour Burst made us a brand new work inspired by the water Adrift On An Endless Ocean; Venessa Scott experimented with her bold colourful style on creating two enormous light boxes in the windows of the Business Centre; Lou Chappelle presented her new work, Voicing Silence, a moving holographic style piece exploring the subject of mass extinction; Zarah Hussain whose incredible geometric images lit up the Pier 3 building in a majestic way - and worked to highlight her solo exhibtion at the Turnpike Gallery in neighbouring Leigh; the wonderful Mr Wilson’s who brought their travelling sound and light piece Opal’s Comet to Wigan’s waterways and entertained the audience with their singing and beautiful music; and infamous story-teller Ian Douglas delighted the crowd with his shadow puppet storytelling from the Night Lantern.
