“Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” is stupendous. But I need to go see this amazing art show again at The Graceland Exhibition Center when there isn’t a party going on.
Lights change to purple, blue, yellow and other colors in a big, dark room, as gigantic Van Gogh paintings appear on the walls and music plays. I busily chatted with old and new friends and snapped photos at the show’s VIP pre-opening party, which was held March 24th. It was hard for me to take in the art with all I was doing. I felt more like I was at Van Go Go than a Van Gogh show.
When I looked at my photos, I was amazed how beautiful they turned out with the magnificent Vincent Van Gogh works simultaneously and almost surrealistically appearing and disappearing on the walls around me.
I want to return when I can lose myself in the paintings.
This release from Graceland describes the show and how easy it is to immerse yourself in it: “Featuring more than 300 of Vincent Van Gogh’s artworks, this family-friendly exhibition takes art lovers into an exhilarating three-dimensional world. Created by French-Canadian Creative Director Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s world-renowned Normal Studios, guests will witness the artist’s stunning masterpieces, including instantly recognizable classics as ‘The Starry Night,’ ‘Sunflowers,’ and ‘Cafe Terrace at Night.’”
Here are some of the guests who were at the VIP party:
