NOCTURNE
An immersive evening of fragrance, art and sensory discovery.
Artwave 2026
Some experiences are seen.
Others are felt.
NOCTURNE is an immersive after-dark event that invites you to explore creativity through the senses. Bringing together fragrance, contemporary art, light, sound and storytelling, this unique Artwave experience creates space for curiosity, reflection and connection.
As daylight fades, visitors are welcomed into a carefully curated environment where scent becomes a narrative, memory becomes an artwork, and creativity unfolds in unexpected ways.
Designed for art lovers, creative thinkers and the curious-minded, NOCTURNE offers an opportunity to slow down, engage deeply and experience culture beyond the visual.
Immersive & Multi-Sensory
What to Expect
An evening of sensory exploration featuring:
Immersive fragrance experiences
Contemporary art installations
Atmospheric light and sound environments
Creative encounters and participatory experiences
Conversations, performances and artistic interventions
Moments of reflection, wonder and connection
Every element has been designed to encourage discovery and invite audiences to experience the arts in a more personal and memorable way.
Why NOCTURNE?
Scent has a unique ability to evoke memory, emotion and imagination.
NOCTURNE explores these connections through a multidisciplinary programme that blends art, fragrance and storytelling to create a truly immersive cultural experience.
By bringing together artists, makers, audiences and creative communities, the event aims to foster meaningful engagement, spark conversation and celebrate the power of sensory experience.
Created by Menteath
