About the Project

Set against the historic backdrop of DC’s oldest neighborhood, GLOW in Georgetown is the region’s only free curated outdoor public light art experience. Established in 2014, the innovative exhibition has quickly become one of DC’s most anticipated events each year.The 7th edition of GLOW welcomed Summer GLOW featuring four local artists and alley activations from July 16 through September 26. Artworks were viewable by day, and brighter by night. Art Dept. was one of the four artists selected to participate in GLOW.

Let's Go Crazy (LGC) is an LED neon flex-light installation inspired by the infectious, feel-good Prince song of the same name. The song is one that helped me get through the pandemic, while also stirring a longing to go out dancing with friends again. LGC is both a nostalgic celebration of nightlife as it used to be, and a nod to that simple desire to go dancing - with LED neon flex lights and steel cables that form what appears as an explosion of light, juxtaposing chaos with control. Our creative process is typically planned and calculated, and this installation provided a great opportunity to experiment and break from their own rules. The piece brings new energy to the space in the spirit of optimism and offers hope to visitors as we collectively move toward the other side of the pandemic while making the best out of our current reality. LGC is dedicated to all the club kids that get free on the dance floor.
