Join us for a GLOW-rious evening reception @ GLOW, 6-15

Join us for a GLOW-rious evening at the poolside reception for GLOW: The Nuclear Show on Friday, June 15th from 6 to 10 pm. Music by The Nuclear Hamsters (6-8 p.m.) and The Current's "2012 best Indie band" Pop Pistol (8-10 pm), and food and libations. Suggested attire: anything that glows in the dark or under blacklight; day-glo green, yellow, orange; '50s vintage (climb under your desk in the event of a nuclear attack!); and anything, absolutely anything, Japanese. Suggested donation $5.

In GLOW: The Nuclear Show, artists respond to all things
nuclear: nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, nuclear radiation. These themes have resurfaced with a vengeance since the March 11, 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster. Each artist struggles with exigent questions, such as: Is nuclear power dangerous? Is it dirty? Is it hazardous to health? Is it deadly? And, what other risks does nuclear power pose for humanity both now and in the future? GLOW, organized by lead artist David Zamora Casas, aka Nuclear Meltdown, with Debora Kuetzpal Vasquez and Eric Lane, visually challenges the viewer to contemplate all of these issues and more.
