TRANSCRIPT
Edinburgh College’s dazzling creative students are about to light up the city with a two-month celebration of their luminous skills.
The Let’s Glow Festival will give Edinburgh the chance to enjoy performances and exhibitions from students covering everything from music, theatre and dance to photography, sculpture, illustration and much more. The programme of events shines a beaming light on the inspirational talent of our students and is a glowing testimony to the outstanding work they have accomplished this year.
Let’s Glow runs from 8th May to 18th July, with events taking place at venues across Edinburgh and some students taking their work downto exhibit in London.
Jon Buglass, Head of Centre for Creative Industries at Edinburgh College, said:
“This is the first fully themed programme of events we’ve run and we’re incredibly excited to show the amazing work our students have been producing over the last year.
We’ve been blown away by their quality and their dedication to the hard work needed to achieve this. If anyone wants to be entertained over the next couple of months or wants to be inspired by our young people, they should make sure they get along to Let’s Glow.”
