Studio ESEM have worked with Bathurst Regional Council since 2015 to program and deliver a series of illumination and projection programs that delight audiences and engage diverse communities. Now a highlight of the events calendar, each year sees a growth in awareness, participation, tourism, economic development, community engagement and business involvement.

Our programming approach for the Festival integrates a mix of curated creative outcomes as well as strong community engagement with local groups including schools, arts organisations and tertiary education. We're committed to ensuring the Festival acts as a platform for diverse community and creative talent, while also attracting audiences from across the region through entrancing and specular lighting and projection experiences.
