Little Illuminators love all aspects of this festival, but the Kids Lab is designed just for them. Street level at Discovery Gateway is a safe and vibrant place for the littles to play, craft and experience light art. This year Discovery Gateway’s STEAM Educators will be hosting two activities integrating both art and science.
Admission is not required as these projects are located on the first level, before you enter the museum.

This is a ticketed attraction. Reserve here.
Dreamscapes first debuted to the public as an art installation during the 2018 ILLUMINATE: Light Art + Creative Tech Fest. Public support and enthusiasm led its current iteration with doors officially opening at The Gateway in March 2019. More than 150,000 visitors, including 63,000 out-of-state guests, have experienced the attraction at this location. The final days to see Dreamscapes here will coincide with ILLUMINATE, bringing the project full circle.
This immersive experience follows a dream-inspired storyline through colorful vignettes that meander an ethereal labyrinth, an exciting way to experience digital and physical art. COVID cautious and appropriate for all ages, Dreamscapes supports the Utah Arts Alliance mission – To foster the arts in ALL forms in order to create an aware, empowered, and connected community.
