UB will contribute illuminated sculptures for the front lawn of the Botanical Gardens, as well as a light and soundscape for the interior of one of the greenhouses. A talented team of professors, undergraduate students and artists will work alongside the Botanical Gardens and Luminated Landscapes to bring these concepts to life beginning with a special launch party from 6-9 p.m. on Jan. 24.
The launch party, which includes signature cocktails and festive appetizers from Obviously Avi Catering, fun entertainment and a sneak peek of Lumagination 2017 is $35 for Botanical Gardens members and $40 for the general public with ticket purchase by Jan. 19. Tickets will be $45 thereafter.
