Quays Culture and Walk the Plank and are offering three £1,000 micro commissions for artists, creatives and collectives to experiment with programmable Geolights as part of the development of Waves, a new programme exploring light, sound, water and darkness.

Successful applicants will receive technical, production and development support to test new ideas using up to 400 Geolights, with work shared publicly during a testing weekend on 12-14 February 2027.

They are particularly interested in imaginative ideas connected to sound, darkness, water or play, and welcome applications from artists working across all disciplines. The focus is on experimentation and learning, rather than creating a finished artwork.

Deadline: 13 November 2026, 9am.
