The Mesquite Arts Council is pairing a winter wonderland with glow-in-the-dark fun for a family-friendly Valentine鈥檚 Day event. All 40,000 square feet of the Mesquite Arts Center will transform for Winter Glow Fest, a free community event with an emphasis on the arts.
During the evening, attendees can enjoy Valentine鈥檚 workshops, glow installations and performances by DJ Storm and Helium Queens.
There will also be an opening reception for North Texas artist Phil Samson, whose exhibition 鈥淪ynapse Synchronicity鈥� will be on display in the main gallery. Samson鈥檚 artwork includes wall sculptures of reimagined hybrid biological forms that also glow in the dark. Samson will take part in a meet-and-greet workshop.
Other highlights include vendors curated by Hecho con Amor and cookie sales from Girl Scout Troop 7660.
