What is ILA?
ILA, or Immersive Light and Art, is a Not-For-Profit Social Enterprise and Venue dedicated to supporting the arts, the immersive arts in particular. Their goal is to empower artists and strengthen their community.
Like magnets, they bring people together to tell, share and experience stories, creating a community that empowers artists and strengthens the cultural fabric of our communities. Their multifaceted institution is home to a number of unique spaces hidden behind our 150 year old heritage façade.
Artists receive 20% off selected beverages at all ILA Bars!
