Every winter a new edition of Amsterdam Light Festival is organised, with artworks that are created especially for the festival. Next to that, in collaboration with artists, partners and various stakeholders, the festival organises special projects. The education project (in which hundreds of primary school students take part) and the collaboration with the Breitner Academy (in which young talent co-creates an artwork for the festival) have been part of every edition for seven years.
