It was a great pleasure to host 8th grade art students that attend Kepner Beacon Middle School here in Denver. They were interested not only in how we produce the immersive experience but also in knowing how to run an art gallery. They had so much fun taking photos of their classmates interacting with the light sculptures. We concluded the field trip by taking them “behind the scenes” to see how we produce the experience.
Our intent is to encourage students to exercise their imaginative powers and hopefully be inspired to go further in their endeavors. It can benefit every curriculum, and has specific application to art, music, performance, math, science, language arts, and history.
During the immersive experience:
Students watching a 5-minute meditative video: The Art of Seeing:
Students amid the light art:
Colorado Educators: We welcome your students of all ages.

It was gratifying to receive this email after the field trip:
Hi Barry,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for welcoming our students from Kepner Middle School. You were such a gracious host. Thank you for your openness in sharing your career journey and for giving us the opportunity to experience the beautiful and creative space you so thoughtfully care for.
The students had a wonderful time being immersed in the gallery, surrounded by such vibrant artwork. It was a meaningful experience for them as they continue exploring their interests, discovering what they enjoy, and learning more about how things work in the worlds of art and careers.
Thank you again! We look forward to future opportunities to inspire our students and collaborate with you. Please also extend our thanks to Marc as well.
Warmly,
Ivonne
