This July, the Glow Winter Arts Festival returns Central Park in Malvern East to light up the night for an extraordinary celebration of its tenth anniversary.
Every night during the festival, the historic park will be transformed into a breathtaking wonderland, offering a free program of mesmerising outdoor light and sound installations that ignite the imagination.
More than 30,000 visitors are expected to explore five inspiring global installations created by renowned Australian artists over four magical nights.
Among this year’s installations, Sydney-based Maurice Goldberg will present ‘Choosing Paradise’ featuring a 14-meter inflatable light sculpture that integrates video and music. Also from Sydney, the award-winning artist Atelier Sisu will showcase their ‘Ephemeral Collection’ a stunning array of gigantic bubble clusters with some spanning 16 meters.
From Victoria, Skunk Control will enchant audiences with their display ‘Encircled Enlightenment’ that features 42 luminous flowers rising from a watering bed, reaching heights up to three meters. They’ll also present ‘Delicate Deliberations’ which is a shimmering installation of more than 1,000 light-transmitting flowers.
And South Australian creative studio Pulsing Heart invites you to become a conductor in their interactive music-making playground ‘Hexadeca’ featuring bespoke glowing seats.
The Festival will also have an array of local food and beverages on hand, perfect for the whole family. Enjoy gourmet toasted sandwiches or indulge your sweet tooth with treats from Rockin Donuts, including traditional jam, salted caramel and Nutella varieties. Adults can enjoy soul-warming beverages from Big Shot Cafe & Bar, served from their charming 1969 Citroën HY van, featuring whiskey hot chocolates, mulled wine and craft beer.
