All of the 303 will feel the void when your work is out of the building. I am so glad I got to spend time with your creations.
I saw Dorothy’s installation work at the Denver Meow Wolf – absolutely stellar!!!
I was so surprised to walk into the room and see all of the different pieces, I recognized it immediately ❤️ One of the highlights of my trip to Meow Wolf today!
I finally saw the lumonics exhibit in meow wolf!!!! I took some footage I’m working on making a memorial piece to honor Dorothy. I can’t wait to finish and share with you!
Hi folks!! We saw some of the Lumonics work at Meow Wolf yesterday and absolutely loved it. I took a picture of the captions by the work and discovered the gallery today. I saw, many condolences, that Dorothy passed away recently. So much love to all of you. Thanks so much and thanks for lending those pieces to Meow Wolf. Incredibly beautiful. ❤️
I went to Meow Wolf in Denver and saw Mel Tanner’s “Exit” piece. It was the most beautiful piece of art in the entire building, I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Thank you for keeping this work alive!
We visited today! So cool!
It’s been amazing to tour people through and see their reactions to the art. Beautiful work and a great choice for our first ever Gallery Galleri showcase!
I immediately felt the warmth and love of Dorothy’s crew when I walked in the exhibit Friday night.
I was able to see it in January! It was such an incredible surprise!!
I’m very lucky to have been able to see this before it opened to general public. Amazing work.
That gallery space is MAGIC. PURE MAGIC.

“A gallery containing work by Denver’s Lumonics collective inside Meow Wolf Denver: Convergence Station. Sept. 13, 2021.”
Meow Wolf predicts making a $2.5B boost to Denver’s economy. Is that realistic?

excerpt
“Meanwhile, one fourth-floor gallery in Convergence Station will offer a rotating display of local artists, with Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery set to occupy it first from opening day through early January with 12 different pieces that can be purchased by visitors. While Meow Wolf certainly will garner a lot of the attention set to go to the Denver art community in the coming months, opportunities like that will only enhance the sector rather than overshadow it, said Barry Raphael, co-architect of the project for Lumonics.”
“It’s going to be a very good thing for Denver. It’s going to bring a lot more people to the area. It’s giving artists — and a lot of them do not have gallery representation — a much higher profile,” Raphael said. “Overall, I think it’s going to be just the opposite of sucking the oxygen away from the community.”
