Coming from Stavanger in Norway, Aberdeen’s twin city, SPECTRA are excited to welcome Elin Melberg to the festival with her sculptural work especially adapted to the Arches in Union Terrace Gardens.

Running for four nights between the 8th–11th February 2018 SPECTRA, Aberdeen’s stunning Festival of Light, will return to celebrate the Scottish Year of Young People through this year’s theme ‘Play the Night’. Bringing together leading international artists with Scottish collaborators and developing new talent, the festival will deliver a four-day light and music exhibition using new technologies and tools to animate Union Terrace Gardens, the Kirk of St Nicholas, and Marischal College.

The project is kindly supported by the Municipalities of Stavanger and Rogaland
