“We present the most up-to-date form of the Lumonics multi-sensory expression. Our intent is to expand the boundaries of sensory engagement and artistic expression, and honor the late Dorothy and Mel Tanner’s contribution to light art and the immersive experience.”
– Marc Billard / Barry Raphael
“Founded in the 1960s, Lumonics is one of the first and longest-standing light art studios in the U.S., long before immersive art was considered a trend.”
– Denverite
You may have seen Lumonics light art at DIA, McNichols Civic Center Building, Meow Wolf Denver, the Museum of Outdoor Arts, Fiddler’s Green, Understudy Gallery, +. We now welcome you to the source where over 75 light sculptures are on display, and are part of the immersive experience presented on Saturday.
“Lumonics is such an incredible collection. They are part of the Crown Jewels of Denver.”
– Justin Stucey, Walt Disney Imagineering
“Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination, and encourages people to go further.”
– Keith Haring
“After an evening at Lumonics, you feel that ANYTHING is possible.”
– Mitch W.
Archival Quote:
“Difficult to describe, beautiful and unusual, Lumonics is hard to compare or judge, comprehend even, because it has no peers. It is different, something unto itself, and not entirely of this world. That, in an eggshell, is what people are saying about Lumonics. I say “in an eggshell” because your experience at Lumonics likely will shatter any conceptions you might have, either from what your friends have told you, or what you might read here. Your own experience will be unique.”
– Ken Plutnicki, The Miami Herald, “Light Show a Theatre of the Mind,” 1989

“Nestled in a warehouse in Denver is one of the most unique artistic experiences I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing: Lumonics Immersed, a mesmerizing and immersive theatrical series of live performances.”
– Toni Tresca, OnStage Colorado
“This is a unique experience not to be missed, truly the highlight of our trip to Denver.”
– Bridget B.
