LightNight Free Guide Wander and wonder on a Friday night. LightNight Liverpool 2015 15 May 4pm — late Liverpool’s one-night arts & culture festival A Welcome to LightNight LightNight principal sponsor #lightnight In 1825 a small institution was founded that was to revolutionise education in Liverpool and provide opportunities for the working people of the city. The Liverpool Mechanics School of Art was founded by men of power and influence who recognised the transformative effects of education and the impact that learning and aspiration could have on individuals, on communities and on society. This small, pioneering movement laid the foundations for Liverpool John Moores University, an institution that has grown and flourished to become one of the UK’s leading civic universities. Embedded within the city but with global ambitions, we are proud to be the partner for LightNight 2015. LightNight is produced by Open Culture [email protected] 0151 478 4550 www. lightnightliverpool. co.uk Thank you LightNight takes place thanks to the energy of hundreds of individuals and organisations and the support of our sponsors and funders. LightNight is part of Museums at Night, the national festival of arts & culture. Our theme for 2015 is Looking to the New World, marking the start of One Magnificent City – a seven week series of major events this summer continuing with Three Queens on 24-26 May and culminating on 4 July with Transatlantic 175. LOOK/15 Liverpool International Photography Festival also launches on LightNight and runs until 31 June.
