"GLOW" A feast for the senses from 7pm 'till 7am!



From KCRW.COM:

Internationally-recognized artists will create engaging sights and sounds from dusk till dawn.

WHAT: 20 multi-media art installations, music by KCRW DJs Garth Trinidad (10p-12a), Raul Campos (12a-2a), and Jeremy Sole (2a-4a)
WHERE: From the sand to the sea up to the Santa Monica Pier and Palisades Park
WHEN: Saturday, July 19 from 7pm to 7am
ADMISSION: Free

A collection of international artists will transform the iconic Southern California spot into a premier art destination from dusk until dawn, with a dazzling array of effervescent sights, sounds and interactive activities.

GLOW is the ONLY event to have ever received permission to use the historic Santa Monica Pier and beach as an all-night venue and more than 25,000 people are expected to attend.

The solar-powered Ferris Wheel will host a revolving orchestra, “tumbleweeds” of recycled material will float on the ocean illuminated by LEDs, SASSAS with dublab will take over the carousel to present Tonalism, an ambient sound and projected image environment, and Shih Chieh Huang will turn the path under the Pier into Neptune’s Net. Details on ALL the art projects can be found at www.glowsantamonica.com

Inspired by the wildly successful Nuit Blanche in Paris, GLOW takes its spirit from the fabled grunion that live in local waters and come ashore several times a year to spawn in the sand creating a momentary sensation of iridescence.
