JACKSON, WYOMING, December 13, 2024 / Jackson Hole Public Art (JHPA), in partnership with the Center for the Arts and Teton Village, brings a month plus of glowing sculptures to Center for the Arts Park and Teton Village Commons. GlowNights has become an anticipated part of Teton County’s festive winter events.

Stop by the Center for the Arts Park to enjoy a very joyful interactive art installation, The Cloud Swings by Lindsay Glatz of New-Orleans based Curious Form. The Cloud Swings are co-presented by JHPA and Center for the Arts and will be on display until February 21st, 2025.

The Cloud Swing is a swing suspended from a glowing cloud structure, in which color and light are created as people engage with the artwork and swing through the air. If a swing is unoccupied, the cloud above remains a steady glow, which shines downward and illuminates the empty swing as an invitation to passersby. Once someone begins to swing, the transformation begins and the steady glow is replaced by vibrant colors that become more saturated as the swing moves faster. The goal of The Cloud Swing is to provide a sense of nostalgic joy and connect participants to childhood delights and the wonders of simple play.

Follow JHPA on Instagram @jhpublicart to learn more about the date and time for a playful pop-up party at The Cloud Swings in January when there is a bit more snow to enjoy.

Five Electric Dandelions created by Liquid PXL, a Los Angeles art collective, will be on display in the Teton Village Commons at the base of the world famous Jackson Hole Mountain Resort from December 21st through January 24th, 2025.

On December 21st, Teton Village Association will kick off Winterfest with a celebration of the Electric Dandelions, a free-skate from 4:00-6:00 pm, and champagne, cocoa and cookies under the Dandelions. At 5pm, there will be a tree lighting ceremony and caroling.

By day, the Electric Dandelions crafted from sturdy steel, translucent polycarbonate, and vibrant LEDs, captivate with their representation of a dandelion in full bloom. As the sun sets, they transform into a breathtaking spectacle. These light sculptures boast a captivating and refined lighting design, using LED lights to cascade twinkling colors high above the ground. Their distinctive spherical form is the result of a meticulously crafted geodesic sphere nestled at the core of each Dandelion. From their vertices, forty-one luminous tubes extend, forming a spectacular 15-foot diameter flower.

On January 24th at Teton Village, there will be a GlowLights closing party, featuring a DJ and local wine, whiskey, beer and tequila tastings.

“We are delighted to bring lighted sculptures to the darkest winter months. It’s exciting to install fabricated sculptures created by art collectives that work specifically with art and light in the environment. We owe thanks to lodging tax funding from Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism and our partners for making these large-scale installations possible,” says Carrie Geraci, Executive Director of Jackson Hole Public Art.

Jackson Hole Public Art brings art to public spaces with the support of partners. For GlowNights, partners include Teton Village Association, Center for the Arts, Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism, Willow Street, Northworks, Outpost, and Two Ocean Builders.
