GLOW

Inspired by the Nuit Blanche ("White Night") festival in Paris, the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Division hired CARS to produce what became the most highly attended art event in Los Angeles history. In 2008, this groundbreaking, dusk-to dawn, 12-hour festival was attended by over 250,000 people, and in 2010 and 2013, a 7pm to 3am iteration attracted 150,000. GLOW was curated by Marc Pally and presented site-specific installations by artists on the subject of light to activate almost a mile of Pacific coastline. In 2008, 2010 and 2013 CARS created and managed production, coordinated and facilitated artist technical needs, acted as intermediary between over 200 artists and city departments, oversaw infrastructure and supervised all staff and volunteers.
