Last weekend The Museum of Art + Light hosted our inaugural “First Impressions Gala” with over 500 of our closest community leaders, family, artists, friends, and patrons. The reactions were overwhelming, humbling, and so exciting. We cannot thank everyone enough for coming out on such a lovely evening of celebration. Featuring four exhibitions running through summer of 2025: "Renoir: A Luminous Evolution" (20K sq ft, in-house-created immersive exhibition); "Code and Canvas: Defining Digital in the Age of Blockchain" showcasing (Erick "Snofro" Calderon, Tyler Hobbs, Sasha Stiles, Emily Xie, Grant Yun) with Iconic "Exploring Perception" with Mads Christensen; “Lasting Impressions: Shaping a Personal Collection” with the personal collection of our founders the DeBruyn's, Bowman, and Zukowfsky. The Museum of Art + Light Grand Opening will be 11-8-24 in Manhattan, KS with Kansas Department of Commerce Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and the Masonic Foundation of Kansas.

So excited for this collaboration. Generative art at its finest.

Opening on November 8, 2024 The Museum of Art + Light will host Code & Canvas: Defining Digital Art in the Age of Blockchain exhibition featuring both new and renowned pieces by Erick “Snowfro” Calderon, Tyler Hobbs, Sasha Stiles, Grant Yun, and Emily Xie marking the first time a contemporary art museum has dedicated an entire gallery to collect and display digital art permanently. In partnership with Iconic these are some of the first pieces to be acquired in our permanent collection including: NFT and physical acrylic painting of Tyler Hobbs’ generative design QQL: Analog 4 (QQL #222); three works by Grant Yun, including his Perfectly Normal NFT, and an NFT and physical version of An Old Soul; Chromie Squiggle #9945 by Erick “Snowfro” Calderon; Memories of Qilin #453 NFT by Emily Xie; and an NFT and physical print of Completions: Fragments – Fragments #9 by Sasha Stiles. As the 1st museum dedicated to bridging 21c technology with the visual and performing arts, we applaud these artists for taking the leap with us, to what can only be described as a monumental shift for art in the digital age.
