Light The Blue

Light the Blue
Multi-artform Festival For and By Young People
Light the Blue is a festival where young creatives are put in the driving seat, curating a line-up that represents an authentic snapshot of young and emerging talent while creating connections and fun opportunities in indoor and outdoor venues to drive forward and ignite the creativity that Aberdeen and the surrounding area has to offer.
This festival offers something for everyone – whether you’re a young person, a family or interested in seeing work in the early stages of development, we are here to give the next generation the tools to be creative, have conversations and make connections.
Everyone Is Welcome Here

Welcome In Our Spaces
Everyone is Welcome Here is our commitment to welcoming everyone into our venues. Our spaces are for everyone – regardless of age, disability status, gender, sexuality or race. This message extends to audiences, staff, artists and touring companies, and these art installations are there to let everyone know how much we value being respectful and kind.
Arts and culture is for everyone to enjoy – so drop in, take a look and don’t forget to tag us in your selfies with them!
