What is GLOW?
GLOW SHOW is Untitled's
Annual Fundraiser. GLOW is a one-night-only art exhibit modeled
after our regular quarterly shows with a few changes:
* ALL art functions in the dark
* $5 donation at the door (participating artists & volunteers get
in free)
* artist participation fee = $20
Untitled will supply a
black light if needed. This is included in the $20 participation
fee.
Bringing your own black light? It must be
the fluorescent tube type that can hang above your work.
All of the regular showing
guidelines still apply. Visit our Get
Involved page to learn about the steps to showing with Untitled.
What can I submit to GLOW?
Any art that functions in the dark...
Glow-in-the-dark, Black-lit, Back-lit, Self-lit, Light boxes, artistic
lighting, performance art, etc.
(This is the only Untitled show that has a requirement or theme.)

Where can I buy black-light
sensitive paint and other stuff?
If it looks like something you might've worn in the 80's...
Any fluorescent paint should work under black light.
Anything from cheap craft paint to better quality acrylic or set
design paints.
Keep in mind that some glow in the dark products may fade after being
out of the light for a few hours.

light paint and ink, see links below and search internet for

What else reacts to
black-light?
Many ordinary household items react to black light.
Experiment! Be sure to experiment at home with your own black
light!
-Downy and other liquid fabric softeners will glow under black light.
The makers of the detergent put in chemicals that glow under UV light,
so your clothes appear extra bright. Experiment w/ various
brands.
-Laundry detergents such as Tide - glows light blue
-Borax will also glow under black light.
-Fluorescent chalk, pencils and clay all glow under black light, but
fluorescent spray does not.
-Some phosphorescent objects (like the adhesive stars you can put on
your ceiling) will fade gradually after being out of direct light for a
while.
-Wildfire and Rosco are two paint brands with excellent fluorescent
colors
-Tonic Water - glows light blue
-Vitamins (specifically
vitamin A, thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin) fluoresce strongly. A
small piece of a vitamin B-12 tablet crushed and dissolved in vinegar
glows a bright yellow under UV light.
-Chlorophyll - glows blood red! (Grind some spinach or swiss
chard in a small amount of alcohol (e.g., vodka or everclear)
and pour it through a coffee filter to get chlorophyll extract (you
keep the part that stays on the filter, not the liquid) For a RED glow, mash up green spinach leaves and mix with a small
amount of ethanol, this will glow blood red under UV.
-The Quinine in tonic water glows blue when under UV exposure.
-The enzymes in some biological washing powder and dishwasher powder
glows blue. These enzymes are sometimes added to whitening toothpastes
too.
-Toothpaste / Tooth whiteners
-Lint from the dryer? Probably depends on your laundry
detergents.
-Do Red Bull and Amp energy drinks glow? Or are these rumors?
Try it and let us know.
-Some fishing line & other fishing materials.
