GLOW 2011, September 9^th and 10^th, so get ready to shine!

Are you in the mood for what has been described as “ one of the most original, exhilarating art experiences anywhere”? Are you an artist or performer, who has ideas for displays, sculptures, dances, paintings, or other pieces of illuminated art? Are you someone who would gladly volunteer for the sheer joy of being a part of the experience? Are you simply an observer, waiting for the delightful beauty of the lit up night to come crashing into your being, in much the same way that refreshing, healing, salty ocean waves crash down onto heated flesh, bringing relief and exquisite joy, inside and out? Whatever you are, you are welcome and there is a place for you in the celebration.

Performers, artists: Sites are assigned on a first come, first serve basis, and, deadline for entries is August 15^th. Entry forms are available online at http://www.trianglelranch.com/glow.htm Individual and group endeavors are welcome.

Attendees: GLOW, now eight years strong in tradition, is Arizona's premier illuminated art festival. For two nights, September 9^th and 10^th, from 7 pm -11 pm nightly, artists, musicians, dancers, performers and their audience will create an experience like you have never witnessed before, even if you have attended in years past. Dress in dazzling illuminated outfits that blur the lines between artist and audience, performer and participant. Start planning your fabulous fashions now! The culture of GLOW is open and celebrates life and self-expression. This is your invitation to join the excitement and make your unique contribution to GLOW! Tickets will be $10 for adults, $5 under 18, and, if you are under three years of age, you get in free – so long as you bring a responsible adult with you!

What can you expect to see, newbie? Everything from amazing pieces by some of the premiere artists of Arizona , to performance art, to proud displays of the art of children. So long as it glows, its fair game. You will park and walk onto the grounds, under colorful, glowing lantern light, view inside the ADOBE barn/gallery where lit artwork will be on display, and, walk the outdoor sculpture path. When your little tootsies are tired, and, your toes are glowing red from exertion, there will be food and drink available for purchase, and, a cafe style porch, of the 1890's ranch house, upon which to sit, natter with fellow gawkers, and, watch the spectacle.

Walking shoes and a flashlight are highly recommended. Pets are not allowed in. Tickets are available at the gate, online (coming soon) and Bohemia Artist Emporium in Tucson. If you need to know more than that, visit the Triangle L website at www.triangleLranch.com or call 520-623-6732 in Tucson, or, 520-896-2123 in the Oracle area.
