OMAHA, Neb. —This winter, Omaha’s Kiewit Luminarium invites locals and visitors alike to experience GLOW, an annual art exhibition designed to brighten the darkest months of the year with a unique blend of light, science, and joy. Program Coordinator Alajia McKizia shares insights into the new exhibits and interactive experiences that await guests.
GLOW transforms the space at Kiewit Luminarium through innovative exhibits and installations each winter. This year, the exhibition incorporates various STEM principles into the art pieces, allowing guests to engage with scientific concepts in an immersive, artistic environment. One of the standout features outside the Luminarium is “Polymer,” an intriguing sculpture by artist Taylor Dean Harrison, visible even before entering the venue.
The exhibition doesn’t stop at visual experiences. It includes interactive programming that encourages visitors to explore and interact with the exhibits actively. “Our guests can interact with GLOW even before they step inside,” says McKizia. This interaction begins in the park with the Polymer sculpture and continues inside with various immersive experiences tailored to foster fun and learning.
GLOW is just one aspect of what Kiewit Luminarium has to offer. In addition to this special winter event, the venue hosts 125 other exhibits that are available for exploration. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, the Luminarium provides an enriching environment that blends artistic expression with scientific inquiry.
The exhibition runs until January 26th, offering both daytime visits and a special ‘Night Light’ program for adults in the evenings.
