Fenne Dinsbach’s dome at Glow in Lieshout

A decorative dome designed by 17-year-old Fenne Dinsbach was exhibited at the Glow light festival in Lieshout, in the municipality of Laarbeek. The work began as a school project at Commandry College Het Macropedius in Gemert, and Dinsbach’s teacher Femke Engelen contacted the festival organisation after seeing the design.

Dinsbach later used prize money from a festival in Norg to build a larger version with Engelen and others. The orange dome, which does not itself emit light, was illuminated for Glow. After the festival, it is expected to return to the school and may be placed in its garden.

GLOW 2026 opened on Saturday with The Breathing Collective, a light-and-sound drone show at Philips Stadium in Eindhoven. The festival runs through 14 November and features about 30 light artworks along an approximately five-kilometre walking route through the city centre. The route has no fixed starting point and includes locations such as 18 Septemberplein, Victoriapark, Emmasingel, Stadhuisplein and Catharinakerk. The drone show is the festival’s only paid attraction, with tickets costing two euros; the other festival installations are free to visit. Light artworks are also on display in Helmond, Best, Oirschot, Veldhoven and Lieshout. On the opening night, large crowds filled central Eindhoven, and the online route map was temporarily unavailable because of high demand. Among the installations was Bubble Bath at Louis Napoleonplein, comprising 180 illuminated spheres in a 20-by-20-metre work by Koen Steger.
