"Lumonics is a light and sound experience that’s been around long before immersive art was considered a 'trend'”.- Maggie Donahue, Denverite

"Learn the true meaning of Lumonics when the temple of light art by the late Dorothy and Mel Tanner throws a special immersive evening?combining art with special effects, and original music and video?by Dorothy Tanner and longtime collaborator Marc Billard.?An audiovisual mantra meant to soothe the mind and expand awareness, this drug-free trip through Lumonics is unforgettable." -?Denver Westword

Before and after the performance, you are welcome to explore the artworks in the front gallery rooms, the larger performance space, and the Studio/Lumonics School of Light Art.?Behold more than 75 wall-mounted and free-standing light sculptures from the past 50+ years.

"If the idea of sitting in a space looking at light and color is what attracted you to immersive van Gogh, we have a local alternative for you:

You can attend Lumonics Immersed, an immersive light and sound tribute to Mel and Dorothy Tanner, the late founders of Lumonics. It’s modeled after the group’s original multisensory performances, and designed to “bring the audience into a state of comfort and expanded awareness,” per the group’s?website. You can also book private group performances." -?Maggie Donahue,?Denverite

Clarke Reader, Colorado Community Media:

"Great artists aren’t exactly well known for staying in the same place for long. That certainly was the case for Dorothy and Mel Tanner, the former of whom had a background in sculpture and the latter was an abstract painter. But they were introduced to acrylic glass (Plexiglas) and began building geometric shapes, which lead to creating lighted water fountains and more elaborate abstract sculptures in 1966.

"And so Lumonics, one of the longest-running light art projects in the country, was born. Since their first light and sound experience in Miami in 1969 combined light sculptures, lasers, special effects and original music and video elements, the Tanners and their gallery have continued to experiment and grow."
