This course is designed to give an insight into lighting design with a focus on art galleries, museum and exhibition spaces. Participants will learn about the various tools and techniques available when designing lighting for an exhibition and how to best communicate these ideas to an architect, lighting designer or electrical planner when designing a space.

Topics discussed include the fundamentals of lighting design, the visual system and spatial perception, supporting topics specific to art and exhibition spaces, creating atmospheres, conservation, maintenance and flexibility. Geared towards those working in galleries, curators and exhibition designers, the course covers the theoretical and practical applications of lighting design and how this can support and enhance the exhibition of art.
