NGO VALGUSKLUBI
Who we are
NGO Valgusklubi (The Light Club) is an organization acting on behalf of public interest. It was founded by Eva Tallo and Priit Tiimus in spring 2011. The board of the organization consists of Eva Tallo and Elo Liiv who joined in 2012.
NGO Valgusklubi aims at raising awareness and sharing knowledge about light art and electrical lighting. To achieve this goal they organize lectures, conferences, seminars, workshops, information days and public events (including festivals) to introduce and promote light art and electrical lighting design.

Every year we try to organize a series of events called Guerilla Lighting to bring problematic poorly lit places in urban space into the limelight. Guerilla Lighting is a movement targeted against poor and wasteful lighting, trying to use contrast of light to point out possibilities of how to use light to alternate reality and, also, to change our attitude towards places that we have become used to avoid.
