Chroma-therapy is like dipping your eyes in holograms.” – Show Producer Jonathan Applegate

 The event challenges local artists to integrate the use of 3D glasses into their art. Come see what they came up with. The event features 3D reactive installations, paintings, sculptures and photographs. All of which are intended to be viewed with specific glasses available to all who attend. Later in the night a powerhouse of musicians will perform on stage a midst a reactive installation. Even the floors will have a visual illusion. Art ranging from $5 to $1000 will be for sale and participants will have the opportunity to cast their vote for the artist considered “best in show”. A portion of ticket proceeds will be awarded to the winning artist at the end of the night.
