Hellweg - a light path
Hellweg - a light path is a modular , expandable cultural project of a city network in the Hellweg region . Since it was founded in 2002, it has brought together individual light-art projects that have already been implemented, are being carried out and are planned to form an identity-creating whole. Under the overall artistic direction of Matthias Wagner K, Frankfurt am Main, new works of light art are realized every year by nationally and internationally renowned artists.
The Hellweg cultural project - a light path, to which the Center for International Light Art in Unna belongs in particular , creates a unique public platform for light art in North Rhine-Westphalia .
