The use of lighting on our buildings and landscape plays a huge part in sculpting a bewitching atmosphere. Good lighting installations, when employed cleverly, not only can reveal, but also highlight features and nuances of the city and its buildings not seen in bright daylight. The Civic-Cultural district of Bras Basah-Bugis has some of our oldest buildings and public institutions gracing its grounds. These buildings aren’t just architectural monuments, but are vessels of rich histories, untold stories and forgotten memories, inextricably linked to their contextual surroundings.

A Little Light Magic invites artists and designers to use the medium of architectural lighting to dream and imagine narratives via the canvasses of these buildings. As daylight slowly disappears, and nighttime comes on, these buildings, together with the cityscapes around them can become places of respite, a reverie of dreams, inviting the city dwellers to slow down, ponder and wonder about them.
