Description
The vision began to take shape when Ramona Sahm joined the board as president and donated one million dollars in seed money. The founders named the new endeavor Lux, Latin for “light,” and began working to build a facility that would bring national and international artists to Southern California to realize commissioned works on site and in the public eye.
After choosing a scenic setting in coastal Encinitas as the home for Lux, the founders learned that the site was once named Lux Canyon, after the Lux family who had settled the area at the turn of the nineteenth century. They knew it was meant to be.
Even as Lux worked to build its permanent facility, the institute’s vision began to take shape as a “museum without walls.” A series of permanent installations around the Lux grounds offered visitors a sense of the uncommon experience to come. In 2000, Lux began its educational outreach initiative with the Valise Project, which continues today.
In 2007, the institute’s first permanent structure, the Artist Pavilion, opened to the public and welcomed its first artist-in-residence. The Educational Pavilion followed in 2014, giving a permanent home to Lux educational programs and exhibits by established local artists. Today, Lux is a destination for San Diego County, a place where visitors find creativity at work and creativity within themselves.- See more at: https://www.luxartinstitute.org/about/#history
