GLOW Academy

where talent and expertise come together

GLOW is a pioneer in light art, and that is no coincidence. Light is deeply embedded in the city’s DNA. Behind every creation lies collaboration, which is exactly why the GLOW Academy was established: a place where emerging talent and experienced professionals inspire one another and drive innovation.

Students from institutions such as TU/e, Fontys, SintLucas and Design Academy Eindhoven collaborate with experts from the fields of art, technology and production on ideas and projects. During sessions of approximately three hours, they receive guidance and take part in masterclasses led by professionals, preparing them for the challenges of developing light art for a large public audience.

Talent Awards by Simac

All participating student teams are automatically entered into the Talent Award by Simac, an annual prize that puts emerging talent in the spotlight. Projects can be selected by either the jury or the public, with cash prizes and the opportunity to further develop the work for a future edition of GLOW.
