Art festivals Kunstscene and GLOW return to the Netherlands

The Netherlands is hosting two major creative events: the fifth edition of the Kunstscene festival and the GLOW light art festival.

Kunstscene features a record 91 locations, including studios and musical hubs, where creators in Tilburg open their doors to the public. The festival emphasizes the creative process, allowing visitors to see behind the scenes of various disciplines. This year, the NS16 complex focuses on ceramics, featuring collaborative works like handmade bowls and shot glasses created by artists under the guidance of Nina van de Ven and Renée Bus.

Meanwhile, the GLOW light art festival begins on November 7, spanning Eindhoven and surrounding areas such as Helmond and Veldhoven. Highlights include a drone show titled ‘The Breathing Collective’ at the Philips Stadion, which utilizes light, sound, and 100 drones. Other notable installations include ‘BRICK,’ a LEGO-themed light show at the Eindhoven Markt, and various light works on landmarks like the Lichttoren.
