As part of Georgetown GLOW, the annual light sculpture event, Book Hill will install Cloud Swing, lit nightly from 5 pm, consisting of two swings suspended from a glowing cloud structure, in which color and light are created as you swing through the air.
Across the street, in front of Klagsbrun Studios, GreenMoonArt will feature a light figure that seems to draw itself as it emerges from the darkness, in a rainbow of changing colors.
Klagsbrun Studios, at 1662 33rd Street (intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and 33rd) will hold Open Studios as part of A Book Hill Holiday, and is delighted to host Under One Umbrella on its covered and heated patio.
