Light art festival GLOW

By 16-11-2022

From 12 to 19 November, Eindhoven once again forms the backdrop for national and international light art during the seventeenth edition of GLOW. With the Urban Skin theme, GLOW reinforces its ambition to be one of the world’s Top 3 leading light art festivals.

Urban Skin
This year, GLOW is all about Urban Skin. The light artworks cover squares, public gardens and iconic buildings, including places such as Villa Dommelhoef, the Vesteda Toren, High Tech Campus and the Paterskerk with a ‘second skin’, such as a moving body. GLOW highlights include the Van Abbemuseum, where 20,000 children took part in Museum Monsters, the first walking light art show ever at GLOW, by French collective Picto Facto. And Connecting your Love, in which, according to a Chinese myth, butterflies form a bridge between people and worlds.

This edition features renowned international light artworks, and and no fewer than 21 of the 33 light artworks are premiering at GLOW. Collaborations encouraged by GLOW were formed between companies, training institutes, residents and artists. The results are unique, innovative light artworks which cover current and relevant themes such as loneliness, diversity, inclusiveness and sustainability. This combination of international light artworks and homegrown innovation attracts more than 750,000 visitors and many curators of international light art festivals to Eindhoven each year.
