Highlights from Glow at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday, September 28, 2013. Building on the extraordinary success of Glow 2008 and Glow 2010, the free dusk-and-beyond event featured the work of international, national and local artists. Glow is the first all-night art event in the United States that emphasizes the commissioning of original artwork. Glow projects invite active audience engagement and exploration and constantly surprise in their unexpected placement in spaces and times not normally reserved for fine art. The array of original, site-specific installations range from the haunting traditional music of the Javanese Gamelan to the most technologically advanced interactive artworks.
