Pullman Yard to host Van Gogh experience
Producers of the multimedia entertainment event called “Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” announced Wednesday that Atlanta’s version will be staged at the Pullman Yard.
The historic 27-acre property, in Kirkwood, was once used to produce agricultural machinery, then was a location to repair Pullman sleeper cars.
It is currently owned by Atomic Entertainment, a movie production company that plans to create a mixeduse development and a movie soundstage among the multiple historic industrial buildings on the site.
Visitors to the immersive experience will be surrounded by two-story animated projections of Van Gogh’s well known paintings, accompanied by music.
The demand for tickets was strong even before fans knew where the event would be staged, and 65,000 tickets were already sold as of Wednesday, according to a news release from Atlanta-based Immersive Hub.
The sound-and-light show will take place daily from May 19 through the end of 2021. Organizers stress that the show, taking place inside the spacious Building 1, will be socially distanced, family-friendly and COVID-19 safe. Visitors will be required to wear masks at all times.
The event is produced by the European entertainment company Exhibition Hub, along with Immersive Hub. It is one of at least two multimedia shows focusing on the art of Vincent van Gogh being staged in the U.S. this year
Tickets for the event will range from $19.10 for children to $32.20 for adults. They can be purchased at vangoghexpo. com/atlanta.
