The time has come again. From 9 November to 16, Eindhoven will be in the spotlight of GLOW. And yes, you can walk the familiar route through the city again this year. Of course, you decide where to start your route, but we would like to help you on your way. Check the six best starting points for GLOW 2024 here.
If you come by train, you are in luck. Because the station is a perfect starting point for your GLOW adventure. Just cross the street and you will get a warm welcome on Emmasingel by a couple of light art works made by students. Like Blobs (#12 on the route), the beautiful slime trails (yes, really!) of an alien invasion, created by students from SintLucas.
Wilhelminaplein makes a great starting point for the GLOW route. Begin your evening here with a snack or drink, then easily continue along the rest of the route. Let's highlight two works for you:
After a long round of viewing impressive light installations, you are probably ready to have a break. Throughout the route you will find cozy spots to warm up with some mulled wine or a hot chocolate. We've selected five to check out yourself.
Sounds good!Just a short walk from the central station, Raiffeisenstraat kicks off with an impressive projection on the Regional Historical Center Eindhoven building. This modern structure, packed with fascinating history, is turned inside-out during GLOW with Sediments, a projection inviting viewers to reflect on their own histories. Sediments is #27 on your map!
Looking to start your GLOW journey in a quieter spot? The TU/e Campus is ideal. Here, you'll start at #23: L’homme qui marche face au vent ("The Man Who Walks Against the Wind"), a tribute to philosopher Seneca's wisdom: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain.”
Address: Dutmalapad
Want to experience the route exactly as it’s intended? We totally get it! Start at De Markt in the city center. Here, you'll find #1 on the map: GLOW on Air, where Studio040 broadcasts festival stories for eight days. Claim your minute of GLOW fame here!
