Art made from light and technology will glow in The Gateway during Illuminate festival

An extraterrestrial landscape will glow from the vaulted ceiling of The Gateway’s historic Union Pacific train depot. A Light-Art-House will beam rippling water around the Olympic fountain, where a towering crystal sculpture forest will shine.

Look up, and you may find yourself dancing on the clock tower. Virtual reality films will immerse guests in other worlds, while electro-scifi band Conquer Monster rocks the dome inside Clark Planetarium.

More than 40 artists who work in light and technology are collaborating for the third annual Illuminate festival Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8 and 9. Illuminate is Utah’s Light Art and Creative Technology Festival, which is free and scheduled for 5 p.
