Take a walk through a dream – GLEAM envelopes the senses, engaging and exciting the imagination. Escape the day to day and enter a third space, a place for creative interaction and dynamic play. Light installation artists from far and wide transform the Gardens into an illuminated adventure. Expect appearances from "wild animals", create a self-portrait with time lapse technology, re-live childhood memories of getting lost in the corn, and wander through a kaleidoscope of light. Come bathe in the shine and enjoy art in the Garden in a whole new light.

Saturday, August 24, 8-11 p.m.
