Tickets For ‘Beyond Van Gogh’ Immersive Exhibit In Sarasota Go On Sale Friday

SARASOTA, FL — “Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” comes to the East District of the University Town Center in Sarasota March 4 through April 24.

The traveling, three-dimensional exhibit allows attendees to completely immerse themselves in some of the greatest works of post-Impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh, according to a news release from Paquin Entertainment Group.

Tickets for the show go on sale Friday and can be purchased at www.vangoghsarasota.com. Prices start at $39.99 for adults and $23.99.

While journeying through “Beyond Van Gogh,” guests will witness more than 300 iconic masterpieces, including classics like “The Starry Night,” “Sunflowers” and “Café Terrace at Night,” as well as many self-portraits.

The exhibit was created by French-Canadian Creative Director Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s Normal Studio.

“An imaginative and fully-immersive adventure, Beyond Van Gogh takes on the challenge of breathing new life into Van Gogh’s vast body of work. Through the use of innovative 3D projection technology and music to illuminate all of his genius, guests can experience the artist with all their senses,” St-Arnaud said.

Guests will be transported into Van Gogh’s world through an all new, exclusively designed space comprised of three areas that segue fluidly into each other. The Introduction Hall leads into the unique Waterfall Room, which flows into the Immersive Experience Room.

Freed from their frames, Van Gogh’s paintings appear on projection-swathed walls inviting guests to fully immerse themselves into the incredible detail of his work and be enveloped in his ever-shifting, swirling and colorful flowers, cafes and stunning landscapes, Paquin said.

As they experience his work in a three-dimensional setting, they’ll also hear the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words set to a symphonic score, creating a narrative experience.

“This distinctive and unique multimedia artistic adventure is deeply resonating with audiences. Encompassing a refreshing new twist unlike art lovers have seen before, Beyond Van Gogh gives a new appreciation of this tortured artist’s stunning work. Unsurprisingly millions of people all over the world credit Van Gogh with enhancing their relationship with art. Beyond Van Gogh will only strengthen that connection,” Justin Paquin, a producer with Paquin Entertainment Group, said.
