Re-imagine the season of light at Georgetown GLOW, the region’s only curated exhibition of outdoor public light art installations. Set against the historic backdrop of DC’s oldest neighborhood, it’s a whole new way to shine.
Now in its third year, GLOW is even bigger for 2016, expanding from 10 nights to a month-long celebration from December 2 through January 1, 6-10 p.m. nightly. Eight local, regional and international artists display their works along and adjacent to the historic C&O Canal, Georgetown Waterfront Park, and Wisconsin Avenue. Georgetown GLOW is presented by the Georgetown Business Improvement District (BID) and funded in part by a grant from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities, as well as the generous support of event sponsors.
