The ilume Gallerie is instrumental in bringing national and international artists to the foray with a commitment to give back to the community with benefit shows and private engagements. More than two thousand guests have attended events and shows since its opening. Showcasing the first NOH8 exhibit by Adam Bouska in 2009, the gallery is also the home to The Faces of Life Project by international photographer Jorge Rivas, which benefits local and national HIV/AIDS organizations. The gallery's creative focus continues to evolve with new and varied influences in contemporary fine art, sculpture, photography, and hand-crafted fine jewelry.
