Dear Community,
 
At the Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery, we believe that every student deserves the chance to explore their creativity, regardless of their family’s income. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, many local Title 1 schools cannot afford the admission fees required for educational field trips. In just Denver, Jefferson, and Adams Counties, there are more than 200 Title 1 schools. 
 
We want to change that, and we need your help to fund 40 fully sponsored art field trips for 1,600 underserved students this school year.
 
Why ​The Art ​of Seeing Field Trip​ presented at Lumonics Matter​s:
For many of the students, a trip to Lumonics will be their very first time experiencing a multi-faceted contemporary art form, presented by one of the longest-running light art projects in the U.S., and based in Denver.
 
While the field trip can benefit every curriculum, it has specific applications to: Art, Science, Mathematics, Music, Language Arts, and History.
 
These field trips provide:
  • Creative Expression: An innovative approach to art and creativity, and a memorable and transformative experience. We encourage students to exercise their imaginative powers and be inspired to go further in their endeavors. 
  • ​ Academic Growth: Art education improves critical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial skills.​ 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 well-being.
  • Equal Opportunity: Your support bridges the gap for children who otherwise miss out on vital cultural experiences. ​Lumonics meets all the guidelines for ADA accessibility.
 
How Your Donation Makes a Difference
    • A $​250 donation will sponsor one field trip for up to 40 students plus staff
    • Our goal is to present 40 field trips for the 2026-2027 school year
    • Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.

Imagine! Comes to Lumonics
 
Lumonics is a community member of the Neuroarts Resource Center:
“Scientific studies increasingly confirm what human beings across cultures and throughout time have long recognized: we are wired for art. The arts in all of their modalities can improve our physical and mental health, amplify our ability to prevent, manage, or recover from disease challenges, enhance brain development in children, build more equitable communities, and foster well-being through multiple biological systems.”
– excerpted from The International Arts + Mind Lab, Johns Hopkins University
