Georgetown Commercial District

A Mind-Glowing Experience

Set against the historic backdrop of DC’s oldest neighborhood, GLOW in Georgetown is the region’s only free curated outdoor public light art experience. Established in 2014, the innovative exhibition is one of DC’s annual holiday traditions.

The 8th edition of GLOW, presented by 2900 M Street, will feature five commissioned light art works throughout the Georgetown commercial district. In addition to the light art installations, GLOW programming includes more than 30 walking tours, GLOW-themed yoga and Pilates classes, a silent disco, a special evening of late-night shopping on Friday, Dec. 9, and more. Visit our GLOW website for all the details! (Image copyright Bart Heemskerk / Light Art Collection)

Welcome to Georgetown Glow’s 8th Edition! I’m thrilled to have been guest curating this project. Since August I’ve been shaking off my light festival cobwebs and working with the amazing team at officialgeorgetowndc. This year’s festival opens this weekend with five installations illuminating the neighborhood until January 22, 2023. 📸 On view:

Alicia Eggert, All the Light You See
Vigas, Lightfalls
Masamichi Shimada, Butterfly Effect
Lindsay Glatz, Cloud Swings
Felipe Pardo, Pictosendo Machine

Many thanks to all of the artists and production crew who made these visions come to life ✨ #letsglow #georgetownglow #lightart

“All the Light You See” by Alicia Eggert
📍Georgetown Waterfront Park – Washington, DC 🌃🌈 #GeorgetownGLOW
✨
“Light takes a moment to travel from one point to another, and to reach our eyes. The travel time varies – from eight minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth, to millions of years from a star at the edge of our universe.
•
This means that the information that light brings us is always dated. This is the focus of All the Light You See; a poetic statement written in light that changes meaning with a small intervention. Part of the text in ‘All the Light You See is From the Past’ occasionally switches off, simplifying the message to ‘All You See is Past.’ The installation is a reflection on mortality, reminding us that in no time at all, we, too, will belong to the past.” - Georgetown GLOW 2022

A year ends, a new one lies in the wing. Hope springs eternal and as such, many will make resolutions to change.

While a great benchmark to measure progress, I don't really believe in annual resolutions. Like the title of my first book, Now Is Gone. Change is not annual, it is a consistent set of small actions taken each day in the moment.

A decision to change passes as quickly as the words are written on paper or in electronic form. This art work, "All the Light You See" by Alicia Eggert, a Georgetown Glow 2022 Exhibit, reminds me that audits, promises, hopes don't matter if I fail to act.

The question is "What action will you take today to achieve your goals?" Not, what is your resolution. Small steps, one at a time.

Have a great 2023.

Throughout Georgetown, down alleys, in plazas, on church yards, are art installations that light up at night. Entirely outside, #GeorgetownGlow is back for its seventh edition now through June 27th. wwwchris captures “The Wishes Within” installations about hope and dreams at Georgetown Lutheran Church. Thanks for tagging #igdc!

Alicia Eggert’s monumental light installations remind us to be present in the moment, to take a pause and reflect on our place in time. Her practice combines public art and concrete poetry to make bright, metaphysical connections. DC is having an amazing moment of celebrating two exhibitions of her work. As a part of Georgetown Glow, All the Light You See will be on view at Georgetown Waterfront Park until this Sunday, January 22nd and complements this stunning piece at the Renwick Gallery, open through March. Come revel in this inside/outside presentation to take in the full scope of her work. #lightart #publicart #georgetownglow
