GLOW Nights Celebration
Friday, January 17 at 5PM
Free & Open to the Community

A walking tour of the GLOW Nights installations in town will start at The Center Park at 5PM.

Complimentary warm refreshments and small bites will be provided.
Beginning at the Town Enclosure Pavilion in The Center Park, a Lantern Parade will depart around 5:30pm for the Town Square and will move onto the Save the Block Greenspace at 6:15pm. Free food and drink will be available at each location, including Persephone S’mores and small bites by Cafe Genevieve, along with music from Cathedral Voices and DJ Mr. Whipple.

GLOW Nights opened on December 23, 2019 and is a month-long “must see” exhibit of original art installations that use colored and white light as a medium to celebrate the unique phenomena found in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). Produced by Jackson Hole Public Art, GLOW Nights artists draw inspiration from the megafauna, calderas, hot springs, and dramatic vistas that inspire.

Jackson GLOW is NEW this year with three GLOW Nights installations: Bear Root by Ben Roth, in partnership with the Jackson Hole Land Trust on the “Save the Block” greenspace, Grand Antler by Bland Hoke, a debut “40 foot” hanging inflatable on the Town Square sponsored by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce and First Interstate Bank, and Phantom Seasons by lighting designers Bradley Smith, Doug Vogel, and Noah Waldron which will illuminate the Town Enclosure on the Center Park, sponsored by Center for the Arts.

“Public Art brings excitement to our public gathering spaces and creates art that is free and accessible for all people. Public art installations benefit local businesses by increasing foot traffic day and night, driving regional visitors, and beautifying public spaces,” commented Anna Olson, JH Chamber of Commerce CEO/President. “GLOW is the perfect antidote to the dark of winter, dynamic art, warm lights and local artists adding to our beautiful sense of place in Town and Teton Village” Olson added.

GLOW Nights is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional grant funding provided by the Wyoming Arts Council and Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. Major funding for GLOW Nights is provided by the Teton Village Association and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Business sponsors include First Interstate Bank, Jackson Hole Land Trust, Center for the Arts, and Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. Hughes Productions will provide the lighting components for the installations.
