Charlotte Welcomes Blume Studios: A New Hub for Immersive Experiences
Hey there, Charlotte! There’s something exciting happening in our wonderful city, and it’s called Blume Studios. This brand-new venue is nestled within the Iron District, a vibrant area that once housed the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry for decades before they relocated to Oakboro. With a hefty investment of $2.5 million, this studio is set to become a hotspot for captivating immersive experiences drawn from both local talent and global creators.
Kickoff Event: “Gaia”
To kick things off, Blume Studios is hosting a magnificent opening event called “Gaia.” The word “Gaia” comes from Greek mythology and refers to the personification of Earth. This stunning exhibit will feature artwork from renowned British artist Luke Jerram. Imagine gazing at a massive globe, almost 20 feet wide, depicting our beautiful planet with spectacular NASA imagery showcasing Earth’s surface. How cool is that?
This incredible piece of art offers a unique opportunity to see our planet as it floats before our eyes in three dimensions. It’s an experience reminiscent of what astronauts witnessed during their lunar explorations. In fact, unless you’ve been to the moon yourself, you haven’t seen Earth in its entirety since the Apollo 17 mission back in 1972!
Spend Time Among the Stars with “The Infinite”
But wait, there’s more! Blume Studios isn’t stopping with just “Gaia.” Following the opening event, they will also introduce “Space Explorers: The Infinite.” This immersive experience includes breathtaking high-definition 360-degree footage, coupled with interactive elements that explore the wonders of the International Space Station. This exhibit will run through November 10th, giving everyone a chance to feel like a space traveler. Just think about it—only around 300 people have ever had the privilege to go to the Space Station!
The combination of “Gaia” and “The Infinite” promises to provide visitors with a glimpse of what space travel feels like right here in Charlotte! Whether you’re a space enthusiast, an art lover, or just someone looking for a fun outing, these experiences will be sure to impress.
Family-Friendly Fun
Blume Studios aims to be an inclusive space for all, so if you’re planning to bring the kids, here’s an important note. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 must be accompanied by someone who is at least 14 years old. This is a great way to bond while diving into the wonders of our planet and space together!
