Immersive Van Gogh, the highly-anticipated art installation, announced today that it will open on the famed Las Vegas Strip at the all-new Lighthouse Las Vegas located on Level 3 at The Shops at Crystals (3720 S. Las Vegas Blvd.) adjacent to ARIA Resort & Casino. Scheduled to open on July 26, a new block of tickets will go on sale to the public Saturday, June 19 at 10 am PST. Due to popular demand, the exhibit has been extended through Thanksgiving.
Produced by Lighthouse Immersive and Foster Entertainment, the catalysts of the mesmerizing digital art space, brings its worldwide sensation, Immersive Van Gogh, to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip for the first time ever! The visually-striking exhibition encourages guests to experience the awe-inspiring works of post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh through 500,000 cubic feet of immersive projections, 60,600 frames of video and 90,000,000 pixels. Immersive Van Gogh 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.
The Immersive Van Gogh team includes Creator Massimiliano Siccardi; Composer Luca Longobardi and Art Director Vittorio Guidotti, all of whom have created immersive art exhibits in Europe. In addition, David Korins, the award-winning designer of numerous Broadway hits including Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen has joined forces with the Italian creative team and will sculpt the Immersive Van Gogh public spaces. Korins is also bringing creative technology to make a series of illuminating, interactive and one-of-a-kind elements that offer ways to learn more about Vincent van Gogh, his life, his body of work and to take a deeper more meaningful look at how his work resonates with modern-day audiences.
This winning team will make Immersive Van Gogh Las Vegas one of the most impressive stagings to date, having already opened to tremendous acclaim in Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York, with additional openings scheduled for 16 cities across North America, including Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver, and more. Since its North American premiere in July 2020, more than 2.5 million tickets have been sold to Immersive Van Gogh, making it the most popular attraction currently in North America.
“Immersive Van Gogh has been hailed as an entirely new way of encountering art and has been enthusiastically embraced by press and patrons in every city in which it currently is being presented,” said Producer Corey Ross. “Our Las Vegas exhibition will be one of our most ambitious as we are utilizing a space that has never been used before for this type of installation.”
Immersive Van Gogh has received rave reviews from critics and patrons. The New York Times called it “Lavish!” while Architectural Digest insists it’s “A must see!” NBC’s TODAY SHOW exclaimed it’s “Breathtaking!” The Chicago Tribune exclaimed “entire rooms pulse with imagery and emotional resonance,” while Time Out Chicago called it “a visual spectacle.” The Chicago Daily Herald added it’s “Dizzying! Delightful!” The Toronto Sun declared, “the mind-blowing imagery, brings Van Gogh’s best work to life – including Sunflowers, Irises, and The Starry Night – for a cathartic and liberating experience.” “Immersive Van Gogh ups the emotional ante,” stated the Toronto Star, “I wondered: could projections of paintings on walls and floors be thrilling? The answer is ‘yes’.” Called a “blockbuster digital experience that has taken the art world by storm” by Artnet News, the exhibit “cleverly embraces creativity,” according to Washington Post. The San Francisco Chronicle summed it up saying “It’s one hell of a way to wake up from our long pandemic art nap.”
Immersive Van Gogh was designed by Creator and Italian film producer Massimiliano Siccardi, with original, mood-setting music, both original and curated, by Italian multimedia Composer Luca Longobardi, who provided a score that combines experimental electronic music with pure, ethereal and simple-seeming piano. Vittorio Guidotti is the Art Director. Siccardi and Longobardi are both pioneers of immersive digital art installations in Europe, where they created the world-renowned Van Gogh, Starry Night exhibition, among others. With approximately 100 state-of-the-art projectors illuminating over the exhibit space, visitors to Immersive Van Gogh will be encircled from head-to-toe in Van Gogh’s brushstrokes and colors, including animated details from works such as Self Portrait with Felt Hat (1888), The Bedroom in Arles (1889), Irises (1889) and The Starry Night (1889).
