MTÜ Valgusklubi (founded by Eva Tallo and Priit Tiimus in 2011) and MTÜ Väike Valgus (founded by Eva Tallo and Elo Liiv in 2012) are public interest organizations founded by Eva Tallo and Priit Tiimus in 2011 and 2012. The organization has been led by Elo Liiv since 2016.

The goal of the non-profit organizations Valgusklubi and Väike Valgus is to raise awareness and share knowledge in the fields of light art and electric lighting. To achieve this, they organize training sessions, conferences, seminars, workshops, information days, and public events that introduce and promote light art and electric lighting design, including festivals.

HISTORY

• It makes light VISIBLE by analyzing and highlighting lighting projects and by organizing light-focused projects and study visits in urban space.
• It turns light into ART by creating and promoting light installations and involving people in participatory actions.
• It connects people for whom light is not just the alternation of night and day, but a POSSIBILITY TO TRANSFORM REALITY.
