Get ready for an immersive digital art experience of a lifetime!

“TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC” 

Robert Held and Brian Middleton return to the McMillan Arts Centre together this time (September 6-27, 2025) in their joint show “Trip The Light Fantastic”.

It’s an exciting all-immersive art “experience” celebrating Light, Colour and Motion in a spectacular and innovative way.

Using multiple digital-projectors and massive screens, both Held and Middleton will shower their gallery visitors with a spectrum of rich moving colours and diverse imagery accompanied by an original musical score. 

Thanks to the creative assistance of their local and talented production team and with a generous corporate sponsorship providing the necessary technology,  Trip The Light Fantastic highlights how community-building*, collaboration and artistic vision can create something even bigger. 

*Proceeds from their joint exhibition will help to support the worthy local fundraising initiative “Vital Signs Project” at Oceanside Urgent Care (Nanaimo Hospital Foundation).    

The McMillan Arts Centre is located on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Nations, home to the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation
and the Qualicum First Nation
