Marley exhibition coming to the city
A Bob Marley exhibition sanctioned by the revered Jamaican musician’s family is coming to Toronto.
“Bob Marley One Love Experience” will open in July for a six-week run at the Lighthouse Immersive Artspace after making its debut in London, England, in February.
The show features six rooms that bring together art, music, photos, memorabilia and what are described as “multi-sensory” experiences, Lighthouse Immersive said.
Exhibit-goers can listen to Marley’s music in a virtual concert experience, view a wall- sized portrait and other artwork by Mr. Brainwash, and delve into Marley’s personal in- terests, including his family and football. Fans are also invited to submit artwork to be included in the show at bobmarleyexp.com.
“This exhibittransports you right into the heart of Marley’s music,” said Lighthouse Im- mersive producer Corey Ross.
Marley’s daughter Cedelia Marley, CEO of the Bob Marley Group of Companies, said in the release that Toronto is the perfect place for the exhibit’s first North American stop. “Dad loved playing here and there is an incredible Caribbean com- munity and reggae scene in the city.”
The Toronto run, July 1 to Aug. 14, is presented with the sup- port of the Toronto Caribbean Carnival, and produced by Lighthouse Immersive and Terrapin Station Entertain- ment.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday. See bobmarleyexp- .com for information.
