Discover Chemnitz in a whole new light!
In 2026, the Chemnitz light art festival „Light our Vision” – under the name “LOV SpotLIGHT” – did not focus solely on the former Hotel Kongress. Under the theme: LIGHT.MAKES.A.MARK. Chemnitz city centre once again became be an open-air stage at central squares and buildings such as Düsseldorfer Platz, Jacobikirchplatz and Alte Post.
The fact that, once again this year, numerous sponsors have helped to ensure that visitors were able to experience light art free of charge is part of the LOV’s success story and a wonderful contribution to the vibrancy of Chemnitz’s urban community. We are very grateful for this.
This year, „LOV SpotLIGHT” was in 2026 a joint project organised by Baukultur für Chemnitz e.V. and Stadt Chemnitz/C3 GmbH
