The Arts Calendar October 2022

A special section

September 26
to November 27th
Beyond Van Gogh 
Immerse yourself in the world of Vincent Van Gogh like you've never experienced before. Beyond Van Gogh is a rich and unique multimedia experience, taking the viewer on a journey through over 300 iconic artworks including instantly-recognizable classics "The Starry Night", "Sunflowers", and "Cafe Terrace at Night", now freed from their frames. Set to a symphonic score and using the artist's own dreams, thoughts, and words to drive the experience as a narrative, Van Gogh's art comes to life by appearing and disappearing, flowing across multiple surfaces and heightening the senses with their immense detail. The Immersive Experience is located at Immersive Art Space: 712 N Hogan St, Jacksonville, FL 32202. www.vangoghjacksonville.com/
