Lichfield Lumiere is an ongoing series of events and projects bringing accessible public artwork to the City of Lichfield and the surrounding area.
Based on the principle of developing large scale new media initiatives the project has been established to light up the city in new way, introduce contemporary art as a part of daily life and develop bespoke artwork in various forms.
Lichfield Lumiere is an artistic project developed by artist Peter Walker and coordinated in part by the Sculpture and Art Foundation CIC, and Luxmuralis.
Luxmuralis is a collaborative team combining artists from different backgrounds and artistic disciplines – creating works across multiple media and prevention formats. Luxmuralis work with a variety of different clients from Councils to Corporate alongside developing and generating ad hoc and individual works of art.
The primary purpose of Luxmuralis is to take art onto the streets and provide access to visual artwork in public as well as unexpected places.
