1 Comment

The Glow Arts festival in Santa Monica California is a huge art project created to bring the community together.  The festival was Saturday, September 28th from 7 pm to 3 am from Santa Monica Beach to Palisades Park.

According to glowsantamonica.org the festival is “An All-Night cultural experience that re-imagines Santa Monica Beach as a playground for original, participatory works of art.”

Glow Artists:

Aphidoidea, Karen Atkinson, Steve Boyer, Mathieu Briand, Jedediah Caesar, Janet Echelman, Marni Gittleman, Steven Hull, Glenn Kaino, Shana Koenig, Rebeca Mendez, Vap Tinkerers with Jonathan Bijur, Victoria Vesna and DJOKO Walujo

We went down for a little bit to check everything out. It was cool. I was shocked at how many people showed up, I had no idea it was such a big event. All the exhibits lit up in some way, some were interactive and throughout the night there were performances. It was neat.

Check it out..

Photo Wednesday - Mahogany Wasp vs. Wolf Spider

Keeping the theme from last week, bugs eating bugs, I took this shot in Oklahoma in a barn. The spider was dragging the paralyzed spider around the barn looking for a good place to have his snack. It was wild to see since the spider was bigger than the wasp.
