On May 6, the Pelham Art Center hosted the "Glowtown" workshop run by Sharon Louden, one of the artists in the current exhibition "Light Matter."
The workshop, which was underwritten by an anonymous donor, was free and open to the public.
About 30 children, with help of volunteers, created a town out of recycled and repurposed materials, and then painted it in a special luminous paint that glows in the dark.

Parts of the town are featured in the window of the Pelham Art Center, and will be seen glowing at night. Three teams competed: Watertown, Flotsam, and Alien City.
Wonderful structures were created out of packing peanuts, paper towel rolls, pinecones, bottle caps, corks, cotton puffs, string and other materials. The teams then combined their towns into one large Glowtown -- and oohed and aahhed when the lights were turned off, and the communal effort glowed in the dark like a fantastic city horizon.
