The BOREALIS Festival of Light was held for the first time in Seattle, USA, from October 11-14, 2018.

A kaleidoscope of light, color and illusion transformed the exterior of the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) and showcased an international video mapping competition in nightly performances. A self-guided walking tour of the South Lake Union neighborhood, featuring light installations by regional and international artists and artist teams, rounded out the festival.

BOREALIS, a festival of light, brings together artists and the technological world for this annual event in Seattle.

The festival is free to the public and features a unique combination of live music, street art performance, light installations and multimedia video projections designed to transform the environment into a virtual reality extravaganza – an urban canvas for unconventional storytelling by artists from around the world.
