LUX Scotland presents introductory talks and tutorials with students at Scotland’s Art Schools and Universities. We can offer online or in-person visits tailored to different courses and contexts.

Screen-based media is one of the fastest growing areas of cultural activity, and the dominant means of communication, storytelling and disseminating information across the world, and across generations. We believe that artists’ moving image is a highly accessible, affordable and democratic art form and there continues to be huge growth in the number of artists working with the moving image. Artists’ moving image provides a familiarity for the widest possible audience which makes it an ideal entry point to the visual arts, especially for younger generations who grew up as digital natives and are instinctively visually and web literate. As a flexible and responsive organisation we are able to adapt to new technologies and online contexts and we view this growth as an incredible opportunity.
