Glow 2026: Connect

GLOW is a free light festival that has been held annually in Eindhoven since 2006. For eight days, GLOW illuminates the dark November evenings with impressive light art by national and international artists. Along a carefully curated route, hundreds of thousands of visitors stroll past light installations that literally cast buildings and locations in a new light. The festival serves as a meeting place for young and old, from home and abroad, and creates shared moments across all sections of society.

This year, there will once again be (at least) two projects from Fontys:

Heuvelplein, Eindhoven – students from Fontys BeCreative

Every ripple, sigh, movement or action – big or small – has an effect on our world. That is what The Rings of Resonance lets you feel. In this work, you are not a spectator; no, you are an active participant. Your actions make this artwork spin and shine – literally!

Julianastraat, Eindhoven – students from the Delta programme at Fontys ICT

With ‘Quantum Waves’, the Delta student team from Fontys ICT refers to the principle of quantum entanglement. In this phenomenon, two tiny particles – atoms – form a special connection. They continue to share each other’s properties, even when they are far apart. The heart-warming message is this: we can always connect with one another, regardless of time, background or distance.

De Bijenkorf – a collaboration between Summa Fashion, Fontys Technology and fashion designer Anouk Wipprecht.

Bring together fashion students, technology students and a high-tech fashion designer, and you get… a magical blend of fashion and tech. Visit the ‘Like Insects’ installation during GLOW and experience this exciting collaboration for yourself.
