NEW THIS YEAR!
Local artists Jeff Dobrow and Alfonso Pérez Acosta are using light to create one-of-a-kind art installations on site: Alfonso Pérez Acosta will engage local school children in a participatory art project to paint designs on lightbulbs that express their "inner glow." These will hang along with hundreds of the artist's own hand-painted bulbs, lighting up the interior of the arborvitae grove. And artist Jeff Dobrow will project an animated light show on the historic water tower by the Carriage House featuring a menagerie of mesmerizing illustrations inspired by Maymont's plants and rescued wildlife inhabitants. In the Japanese Garden, Dobrow will highlight the patterns and textures of animals and plants with a more abstract animation that will play across the natural and man-made structures in the garden.
In the Glow Village, Aukward Designs will craft a life-size version of a colored light-peg board that guests can arrange in colorful designs of their own. And back by popular demand is a giant shadow wall where you can strike a pose.
