A Celebration of Light
Unite to Light the Night is a fundraiser and light art exhibition celebrating the power of light. This annual event merges art, community, and social impact into immersive experiences over two evenings. The basis of the fundraiser is an art exhibition around the theme of light. The exhibition is a way to showcase light as not only an essential aspect of life, but also a creative medium that can bring people together. The event supports Unite to Light’s mission to bring light and power to the one billion people who live without light at night. Join us and help light the world.
