Fridays and Saturdays
Come to your senses at Lumonics Immersed!
We invite you to enter the Lumonics Portal for a mind-expanding, body-relaxing, “sense-sational” experience, using art as the transport vehicle.
Lumonics is a captivating multisensory experience presented by one of the first and longest-running light art projects in the U.S. The late Light and Space artists Dorothy and Mel Tanner originated this highly-acclaimed transformative art in 1969, and it continues to evolve.
Engage with 75 light sculptures before, during, and after the performance, in rotation from a collection of over 200 Tanner works. This is one of the highlights of the evening.
There are flashing lights that emanate from the sculptures during parts of the performance, but no strobing. Orchestrated live, many consider the uniqueness of the light sculptures and their color changes one of their favorite parts.
The original music is derived from keyboards and sound samples of voices and instruments from around the world.
The immersive experience is developed from multimedia techniques originating 55+ years ago and that continues to this day. It is an exhilarating* way to come to your senses!
Many know of Lumonics from our participation in the Denver Fringe Festival and our 5-month exhibit at the opening of Meow Wolf Denver.
* makes you feel very happy, animated, and elated

“There is a growing understanding of how art can literally reshape or rewire our brains.”
Your Brain on Art : How the Arts Transform Us by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross
“Denver is a hub for immersive experiences. Long before immersive art was trendy, Denver had artists like Lonnie Hanzon, the creator of ‘Camp Christmas,’ and the late Dorothy and Mel Tanner, creators of Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery, who paved the way for experimental exhibitions.”
– Lauren Antonoff Hart, writing for Colorado Public Radio/Denverite
“We present the most up-to-date form of Lumonics. Our intention is to expand the boundaries of sensory engagement and artistic expression, and honor the Tanners’ contribution to light art and the immersive experience. If you want to get away, Lumonics will take you there.”
– Marc Billard / Barry Raphael
