With more than 6 million people around the world having experienced Immersive Van Gogh, the phenomenal success of this blockbuster sensation is an unprecedented Canadian success story. The first exhibit of its kind in North America, Immersive Van Gogh made box office history with an estimated 1 in every 50 Americans having experienced this unique sensory extravaganza. The spectacular digital art exhibition, that inspired numerous copycat exhibits, was dubbed by the New York Times as best in class.

Immersive Van Gogh made its North American debut in Toronto at the start of the world-wide pandemic. Lighthouse Immersive, the innovative live entertainment company behind the production responded to the distancing protocols by offering the first-ever โ€˜drive through optionโ€™, a move that resulted in sold out shows from 7 โ€“ 3 p.m. seven days a week. The show that catapulted the immersive craze will make its final stop in Toronto this fall.

โ€œImmersive Van Gogh changed the way audiences experience art and made it available to the masses in a way we have never seen before,โ€ explains Corey Ross, CEO of Lighthouse Immersive. โ€œTo really do justice to this kind of experience and to Van Goghโ€™s incomparable body of work, we will be officially retiring this production with plans already underway to reimagine a new exhibition that will build on the ongoing audience demandโ€.

Immersive Van Gogh is a full immersion into more than 300 of the Vincent Van Goghโ€™s greatest works. The exhibit premiered in Toronto in July 2020 and has gone on to earn rave reviews from critics around the world who call it โ€œDazzling!โ€ (Lonely Planet), โ€œBreathtaking!โ€ (NBCโ€™s Today Show) and a โ€œMust-See" (Architectural Digest).

The exhibition invites audiences to โ€œstep insideโ€ the iconic works legendary Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh (1853 โ€“ 1890) who is recognized as one of the worldโ€™s greatest and best loved artists. During his short life he painted more than 2,000 artworks ranging from ordinary household items and self-portraits to surreal landscapes each evoking his highly emotional and chaotic inner consciousness through art, light, music, movement and imagination. He struggled with mental illness and remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life. In his 37 years alive, Van Gogh only sold one painting, The Red Vineyards, to his brother Theo.

Immersive Van Gogh returns to Toronto for a limited run at the Lighthouse Artspace on November 9, 2024. Tickets are available online at http://www.vangoghexhibit....
