Marcus Center for the Performing Arts
Milwaukee, WI
A 40-year beacon of cultural celebration in downtown Milwaukee, the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts has transformed its classic exterior to reflect the dynamic and diverse programming that it houses. Made possible by Philips’ cutting-edge LED lighting technology, the building’s exterior now shines in endless color combinations and kinetic effects that reinvigorate its presence among Milwaukee’s pre-eminent venues. The lighting installation was unveiled to the public in April 2008.

“It has long been our mission to provide a world-class entertainment experience in a state-of-the-art facility of the highest quality. This promise extends to the exterior face of our building, which required new life to reflect our present-day identity,” said Paul Mathews, the Center’s president. “Not only have we been given a new face, but one that can be aesthetically tuned through color and light to coincide with performances, holidays and other special occasions.”   Learn more...
