Lighthouse ArtSpace Chicago—a new venue within Chicago's recently renovated landmark Germania Club Building, 108 W. Germania Pl.—will extend the dates of the U.S. premiere of the art experience "Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit" through Sept. 6.
Lighthouse ArtSpace Chicago, a three-story facility, is dedicated to immersive art presentations. Utilizing the building's Victorian Era architectural details, 35-foot-tall walls and multiple levels (including balconies), the venue will present vibrant immersive art exhibitions that surround the viewer on all sides.
Immersive Van Gogh is a visually spectacular digital art exhibition that recently received widespread critical acclaim during its debut in Toronto. The exhibit invites audiences to "step inside" the iconic works of post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, evoking his highly emotional and chaotic inner consciousness through art, light, music, movement and imagination.
Following COVID-related restrictions, the 45-minute, walk-through experience has been designed with health and safety as a priority. Safety precautions include touchless ticket-taking, temperature checks upon arrival, hand-sanitizer stations, social-distancing markers throughout the venue and digitally projected social distancing circles on the gallery floors to ensure appropriate spacing. All guests must wear face coverings at all times during their visit.
Ticket prices start at $39.99 for adults ($24.99 for children 16 or younger), with untimed and flexible ticket options available. Visit VanGoghChicago.com or call 844-307-4644. |
