A dusk to dawn festival on the beach and pier in Santa Monica, CA, July 19, 2008, GLOW will fill the hours with compelling, enchanting and effervescent sights and sounds situated in spaces and times that expand possibilities for where, how and when the public experiences contemporary art.

With the historic Santa Monica Pier and adjacent world-famous Santa Monica Beach as their space, a number of unique and inviting works by artists will illuminate the area for twelve celebratory hours.

Inspired by the wildly successful Nuit Blanche in Paris, Glow takes its spirit from the fabled grunion that live in locl waters and come ashore several times a year to spawn in the same creating a momentary sensation or iridescence.

Participating artists include Shih Chieh Huang and Usman Haque.
