Kings Park is calling out NOW for submissions for our ‘Lantern Luminance’ display as part of Lightscape 2025.
We are excited to announce a special collaboration opportunity for children of Perth to see their art on display as part of this year's Lightscape event at Kings Park in June and July.
Lightscape 2025's mesmerising light and sound trail will include a field of illuminated lanterns featuring creatures and critters created by local kindy and school children.
Art pieces can be painted or drawn from pollinators that ‘can’t live without you’, such as the honey possum and the banksia, the wasp and the orchid and the wattle bird and mallee.
Winning pieces will decorate the exterior of a lantern shade and the top ten will win a family pass to the Lightscape Preview Night.
Entries close 31 March 2025 and the winners' artworks will be on display at Lightscape from Friday 13 June – Sunday 27 July 2025.

Lightscape tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via Ticketek.
