Light art festival GLOW

GLOW Eindhoven

Event

In November GLOW Eindhoven organizes the international light art festival GLOW. A large exhibition in the public space of Eindhoven with about 30 light artists from the Netherlands and abroad.

The Stream
In the dawn of GLOW, this year unveils the theme of The Stream, exploring the essence of flow in all its facets. Like a river, crowd, and trend gradually flowing through the streets and meandering through squares and parks, bringing forth the tangible energy of people in motion. In 2023, The Beat manifested as a pulsating beginning, with The Stream spreading energy to celebrate the 20th anniversary of GLOW as a comprehensive whole during The Light in 2025.

The light art projects are connected by a walking route. The event has grown from 45,000 visitors during the first edition of GLOW in 2006, to a record number of more than 750,000 visitors during the 2019 edition. With this, GLOW Eindhoven has acquired a position in the top five of the most visited light festivals in the world. GLOW’s distinctive character lies in the ambition to create light art every year, with a focus on innovation and talent development.

Through a route, hundreds of thousands of visitors walk past the artworks and literally see Eindhoven in a different light. The route is a place where different people meet and share experiences. From young to old, national or international, it is clear that GLOW creates shared moments across all layers of society.
