Our Visitors from Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver

We enjoyed our visit today from Sarah Weigal and Regina Martinez-Gonzales of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. We look forward to hosting our field trip for Club members.  Sarah posted the following on LinkedIn.
Sarah also included the Lumonics LinkedIn post about our field trip program:

Walking through the space and discovering how light, sound, and movement come together to spark imagination was truly inspiring. We left energized by all the ways this kind of immersive creativity could expand what’s possible for Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver members by exposing youth to new and diverse forms of art that stretch how they see, feel, create, and learn.

We’re so excited about the potential to bring this kind of creative, sensory-rich experience to our members and explore how art can open new doors for expression, curiosity, and joy.

Thank you both for sharing your vision and your space with us!

Educators in Denver Metro:
The Art of Seeing Field Trip at the Lumonics Light & Sound GalleryThe field trip is an innovative approach to art and creativity outside of the classroom. The intent is to encourage students to exercise their imaginative powers and be inspired to go further in their endeavors. The theme is “The Art of Seeing” and blends art with technology.Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have shown that the arts and aesthetic experiences measurably change the brain, body, and behavior and that these practices advance health and wellbeing.
