Immersive van Gogh Experience in Toronto will Feature Social Distancing Circles

Van Gogh Immersive Experience

Continuing to be on the forefront of creativity and innovation during the coronavirus era, organizers of the Immersive van Gogh exhibition, who recently announced the world’s first drive-in exhibition coming to Toronto, have debuted plans to integrate social distancing circles into the immersive digital art experience when it officially opens its doors to visitors on-foot in July. First it was the ‘Gogh by Car,’ and now preparations are underway to allow patrons to ‘Gogh the Distance.’

“We are optimistic that cultural venues and destinations will soon be able to open to larger gatherings; and we are taking every measure to ensure that our patrons will be able to fully engross themselves in the incredible scale and visual impact of the art, film and sound experience –without worrying about social distancing,” said Svetlana Dvoretsky, co-producer, Lighthouse Immersive.

“Other cities including San Francisco and Brooklyn have successfully encouraged social distancing by painting “circles” in parks and public spaces, so we thought why not project these circles within our 600,000 cubic feet venue, so that it becomes part of the presentation and integrates into the moving projections of van Gogh’s masterpieces,” said Corey Ross, co-producer, Lighthouse Immersive.

The exhibition will feature a curated selection of images from van Gogh’s 2000+ lifetime catalogue of masterpieces including the Mangeurs de pommes de terre (The Potato Eaters, 1885) to the Nuit étoilée (Starry Night, 1889), Les Tournesols (Sunflowers, 1888), and La Chambre à coucher (The Bedroom, 1889). Italian film producer Massimiliano Siccardi is the creative director; with original music by multimedia composer Luca Longobardi, who is renowned for bringing together classical and contemporary genres.

The premiere of Immersive van Gogh is slated for July 1, 2020; or as soon as it is safe to open under the advice of government officials and health agencies. General admission tickets start at $34.99 for the walk-in experience. Tickets are still available with dates extended into September 2020 to accommodate public demand.

The Immersive van Gogh premiere will follow the limited time drive-in preview, Gogh by Car, that sold-out within 24 hours of going on sale. Those who purchased tickets to the drive-in will have access to the walk-in exhibition. There is currently a wait list of more than 3,000 people for the drive-in concept which will open from June 18 to 28, 2020.
