Dorothy and Mel Tanner met at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, married in 1951, and began a life in…read moreart together. Dorothy focused on sculpture and Mel on painting. They continued their art practices, taught art, ran galleries, organized seminars, and traveled--finally settling in Miami in 1966. Polymethyl Methacrylate (Plexiglass/acrylic) was developed in the late 1920s, was first marketed in 1933, found many uses during WWII, and then entered civilian markets after the War. Acrylic transmits light and the Tanners began to work with this material in Miami to make light sculptures. They had discovered Plexiglass in the early 1960s in New York when working on commissions for Air Products, Raytheon, and GE. Light sculptures became their main focus and they converted their studio into a theater to combine the light sculptures with synchronized music and visuals. A critic dubbed the new art form "Lumonics" in a 1970 article. The Tanners continued to make light sculptures and, working with a team of helpers, presented the Lumonics Light and Sound Theatre at venues around the country. Mel Tanner died in 1993. Dorothy collaborated with team member, Marc Billard, on light sculptures, music, and video to enhance the Lumonics experience. Dorothy moved the team and archives to Denver in 2009. There have been many exhibits of the Lumonics light sculptures around the metro area since then. Dorothy received the Innovation Award of the [Denver] Mayor's Awards for Excellence in Arts & Culture in 2018. She died in 2020. The Lumonics School of Light Art, the Lumonics gallery, and Lumonics Immersed, the current multimedia presentation, are being maintained by the two remaining members of the Lumonics team. They are currently raising funds to preserve the 200 light sculptures, archives, and multimedia presentations at a permanent facility. I've been to quite a few of the Lumonics exhibits over the years. The light sculptures are mesmerizing and fantastic. My girlfriend and I recently signed up for the Lumonics Immersed experience. This involved a trip to the warehouse where we were given lots of time to explore the 75 sculptures on display. We then watched a short documentary about the Tanners, followed by an hour's multimedia experience orchestrated by Marc Billard. This is hard to describe, but was a fascinating use of the materials and a relaxing escape for the evening. There's lots of information on the Lumonics Web site. Check that out, sign up for a class if you're art-oriented, and definitely attend Lumonics Immersed. It's a unique experience.

The sights, sounds, history, and art were amazing to experience. I was there for a friend's event…read moreand the art using light blew my mind. Sadly the original artists have passed but the spirit is alive to this day. The best part is you can take a class to build your own art. I highly recommend this place. They were featured at Meow Wolf at one point. The full immersive experience was also a sigh and sound to be seen. It all lights up and changes colors.
