Larry Alexander and Danielle Kelly join the Exchange.
Larry Alexander is Executive Director of "GlowFest," a new event on June 19-22 celebrating the fusion of food, film, live music, awards and magic. Danielle Kelly is the festival's program director.
The premier venue, "The Glow," is located in Scott Valley in Siskiyou County, CA. The new event and venue builds on the organizers' previous experience in producing the State of Jefferson FLIXX FEST.
GlowFest aims to be a resource for creatives, from filmmakers and musicians to multimedia producers. Organizers say the facility will ideally attract creatives to the area. Projects will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The idea is to make it affordable or free through grants for budding creatives, through special projects, classes and workshops. Facilities are available to rent for various uses.
