Vivid Sydney
Vivid Sydney is an annual festival held in Sydney, Australia. It includes outdoor immersive light installations and projections, performances by local and international musicians, and an ideas exchange forum featuring public talks and debates with leading creative thinkers.
This event takes place over the course of three weeks in May and June. The centrepieces of Vivid Sydney are the light sculptures, multimedia interactive work and building projections that transform various buildings and landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge in and around the Sydney central business district into an outdoor night time canvas of art.
Past sites of interest include Central Park, Chatswood, and the University of Sydney as well as around the CBD, Darling Harbour and The Rocks.[citation needed]
Vivid Sydney was conceptualised in 2008 and initially developed as low energy light festival. 'Smart Light Sydney' was a concept developed by MaryAnne Kyriakou (who was inspired by the Glow Light Festival which was held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, since 2006 and where she participated )Anthony Bastic, Carolyn Grant, Joe Snell and Davina Jackson.
Anthony Bastic presented the concept of a low energy light walk around Sydney's Circular Quay, linking the CBD, to the NSW Government. After securing British multi-genre popular culture artist, Brian Eno as the lead light artist, the NSW Government sought the expansion of the content to include the music and ideas component.
The original name "Smart Light Sydney" was replaced with Vivid Sydney to better represent the streams of Light, Music and Ideas.
From 2009–2018 Anthony Bastic's company, AGB Events, was responsible for curating and producing the public facing light component for NSW Government. As of May 2019, it was the biggest festival of lights, music and ideas in the world. It is owned, managed and produced by Destination NSW, the State Government's tourism and events agency. In 2019 a record 2.4 million people attended.
The 2020 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 Vivid was first scheduled for 6–28 August, it was then postponed to September due to the Delta outbreak and lockdown in Sydney. It was finally cancelled on 6 August.
