Eindhoven understands the art of creating

As stated by mayor Jeroen Dijsselbloem during the opening of GLOW, Eindhoven understands the art of creating. Almost 80% of the light artworks were developed in Eindhoven and were displayed for the first time during GLOW. Unique light art that attracts many curators from light art festivals all over the world.

Festival director Ronald Ramakers says: “Based on our mission to ‘make the city GLOW’ and our ambition to become one of the world’s top 3 light art festivals, it is crucial that we give creative and technical talents the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience, and to present themselves to the general public. The Talent Award is therefore one of the highlights of GLOW for me”.

Around the world

A previous winner of the GLOW Talent Award is Valerie van Zuijlen with the project Moonlight. Valerie will be presenting her work in the Irish city of Cork at Spacefest. Another example is the Eindhoven-based Studio Toer – previously runner up for the GLOW Talent Award – that is now developing an international reputation with works that can be seen all over the world.
