“Denver is a hub for immersive experiences. Long before ‘immersive art was trendy, Denver had artists like Lonnie Hanzon, the creator of ‘Camp Christmas,’ and the late Dorothy and Mel Tanner, creators of Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery, who paved the way for experimental exhibitions.”
– Lauren Antonoff Hart, CPR/Denverite

“We present the most up-to-date form of Lumonics. Our intention is to expand the boundaries of sensory engagement and artistic expression, and honor the Tanners’ contribution to light art and the immersive experience. If you want to get away, Lumonics will take you there!”
– Marc Billard/ Barry Raphael

One of the videos shown at Lumonics Immersed, Mountain Meditation 3 by Marc Billard,was accepted in the upcoming Tilting West: Defining A New Legacy Exhibition at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. The exhibit opens June 3 and ends on August 23, 2026. We hope you can see the exhibit. Here is an excerpt:

“Nestled in a warehouse in Denver is one of the most unique artistic experiences I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing… a mesmerizing and exciting series of live performances.”
– Toni Tresca, OnStage Colorado

“Entering Lumonics Gallery in Denver is like walking onto a spaceship. When the immersive show begins, it’s as if the spaceship is gearing up for takeoff.”
– Kelly Hayes, Denver Gazette

“Lumonics was immersive before it was cool. Experience a multi-sensory journey that refreshes your body, mind and spirit, presented by one of the first and longest-running light art studios in the U.S. — which just happens to be based here.”
– Denver Westword

You may have seen some of the Lumonics light art at DIA, Meow Wolf Denver, McNichols Civic Center Building, the Museum of Outdoor Arts, Fiddler’s Green, Understudy Gallery +

 

“This place is such a hidden gem in Denver. The art here has a deep and fascinating history, and the Tanners built a true legacy around it. You can see how spaces like Meow Wolf and other immersive art experiences owe some of their inspiration to what Lumonics has been doing for decades.” – Tyler A.

“Lumonics is such an incredible collection. They are part of the Crown Jewels of Denver.” – Justin Stucey, Walt Disney Imagineering

“Art should change us in all the best ways. It should open our minds, hearts and souls, and enliven our own creative instincts. My first time at this ongoing event did all that and more.” – Will B.

“Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery is a place I stumbled across last year and have been in love with it ever since. It’s filled with beautiful acrylic sculptures and home to amazing light shows that take place every Friday and Saturday. There’s a really beautiful story behind it too – the two founders are no longer alive but it’s carried on by a team of people who are very passionate about the art. The experience of seeing a show there is truly mesmerizing. I’ve been 3 times now I believe and each time it’s different, beautiful, and amazing. Obviously we have cool, trippy, arty places like Meow Wolf Convergence Center in Denver but Lumonics is by far my favorite psychedelic-esque place in the state.” – Reddit post

An Immersive Evening with KIMEAN

 

Threads of Light
An Immersive Evening with KIMEAN

Khmer-American singer-songwriter KIMEAN crafts cinematic-pop music that feels both intimate and expansive. She crafts layered vocals, lush soundscapes, and storytelling that is both tender and unflinching.

Developed in partnership with Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery, Threads of Light weaves KIMEAN’s music with the gallery’s hand-crafted light art, transforming the space into a living, breathing tapestry of sound and color.

Featuring pieces from her upcoming album, KIMEAN takes audiences on a journey inspired by her mother’s survival of the Khmer Rouge and her own struggle with the wounds that pass silently between generations.

Threads of Light invites you to step inside the music and be surrounded by story, light, and sound.

Doors: 6:30 PM | Show: 7:00–8:00 PM

🎟️ Presale tickets: $25 — available through April 9th at kimeanmusic.com
Tickets increase to $30 after April 9th. Spots are limited!
