Events

Fridays and Saturdays

Come to your senses at Lumonics Immersed!

We invite you to enter the Lumonics Portal for a mind-expanding, body-relaxing, “sense-sational” experience, using art as the transport vehicle.

Lumonics is a captivating multisensory experience presented by one of the first and longest-running light art projects in the U.S. The late Light and Space artists Dorothy and Mel Tanner originated this highly-acclaimed transformative art in 1969, and it continues to evolve.

Engage with 75 light sculptures before, during, and after the performance, in rotation from a collection of over 200 Tanner works. This is one of the highlights of the evening.

You may have heard of Lumonics from our participation in the Denver Fringe Festival.

Fridays and Saturdays
Doors Open: 7:45 pm

Show Starts: 8:15 pm

“There is a growing understanding of how art can literally reshape or rewire our brains.”
Your Brain on Art : How the Arts Transform Us by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross 

“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,  writing for Colorado Public Radio/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

 Toni Tresca, OnStage Colorado

“When the immersive show begins, it’s as if the spaceship is gearing up for takeoff.”
– Kelly Hayes, Denver Gazette

“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

“Seeing all the artwork, feeling the atmosphere, and witnessing how you all continue to invest in your craft was incredibly inspiring. It really opened my eyes, and I walked away feeling motivated in a way I haven’t felt in a long time. It was truly special, and I appreciate you having me there.” – Isaiah M.

“Lumonics is a life changing experience! I celebrated my 40th birthday here with friends and the vibe was like no other you’ll ever experience!” – Charlie O.
