JACKSON, Wyo. — On Jan. 25, in Teton Village, there will be a GlowNights closing party from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Village Commons featuring a live DJ set with KHOL and drinks for purchase at the Caldera House Aperol tent.
As part of GlowNights, Five Electric Dandelions created by Liquid PXL, a Los Angeles art collective, are on display in the Teton Village Commons at the base of the world famous Jackson Hole Mountain Resort until Jan. 25.
GlowNights has become an anticipated part of Teton County’s festive winter events.
“We are delighted to bring lighted sculptures to the darkest winter months,” says Carrie Geraci, executive director of Jackson Hole Public Art. “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 Board and our partners for making these large-scale installations possible.”
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, 41 luminous tubes extend, forming a spectacular 15-foot diameter flower.
The Electric Dandelions are sponsored by the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board, Teton Village Association and Willow Street.
