Aberdeen children will have the opportunity to see their work displayed at this year's SPECTRA Festival of Light.

The festival showcases light and sound installations created by international artists across the city centre.

Artist educators Hannah Ayre and Amanda Yates will work with 300 children from ten local primary schools to create woven designs which will then be lit using UV light.

Councillor Marie Boulton said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for children to get involved with such an engaging project.

"It will be so exciting for them to see their work displayed to thousands of people at SPECTRA.

"With this being Creative Scotland and Event Scotland's Year of Young People, we are especially delighted that SPECTRA can offer the opportunity for young people to develop skills and help the city become a cultural focal point."
