Lumonics has received a Microgrant from the Denver Theatre District

Lumonics is honored to receive a grant from The Denver Theatre District Microgrant Program in the spring of 2026. The funds will be used to present field trips for Title 1 Schools in the Denver Metro Area.

The field trip consists of a tour of the gallery, art studio, and art school; a short documentary about the history of Lumonics, among the first and longest-running light art projects in the United States; a light and sound immersion, orchestrated live; a question and answer session; and concludes with taking the students “behind the scenes” to show them how we create the immersion. Teachers are provided with a follow-up lesson plan for the classroom.

 

About the Denver Theatre District:

The Denver Theatre District consists of a 16-block area of downtown Denver that enables interactive, immersive and experimental arts and culture events and experiences. It provides creatives with a platform and financial support for sharing their work.

Lumonics has enjoyed working with The Denver Theatre District, presenting Lumonics Mind Spa: Light Intersection at Understudy Gallery, working with Annie Geimer.

We also showed a video on the Clocktower Building, working with David Moke of Night Lights Denver.

Today, we hosted a middle school photography class that attend Denver Academy.  Thomas Laird, Digital Art and SmartLab Instructor, organized the field trip.  We gave the students free rein to photograph the light sculptures. They had quite a time!

Imagine! Comes to Lumonics

We enjoyed hosting Imagine! clients who came to Lumonics for a guided tour/immersion.

Imagine!, based in Lafayette, CO,is a provider agency offering services designed to allow individuals of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to engage in their communities. 

The School Age Services brought students from the  ages of  7 to 21. Some of the students could only utter sounds but were very expressive! 

We were delighted to receive this email the following day:

Thank you so much for hosting our group yesterday! It was really special to see our group so calm and engaged for such an extended time. There is certainly something to be said about the neurological impact of the experience you offer!

Thank you also for being flexible and accommodating with the needs of our group. We truly felt welcomed and supported and that means so much. We hope to be back again someday!

Best wishes,

Riley Meere
