\n\u201c A strange world of neon light, hidden in the middle of the Arts District. Led by an undertaker, a vigilante, and a true believer, this multi-part audio tour might make you question your mortality\u2026and what lies beyond. Only you can decide what to believe<\/em>.\u201d

I wasn\u2019t entirely sure what to expect when I showed up at the Lili Lakich Gallery<\/a>. I knew that the description had piqued my interest, there was a podcast-style audio tour of an exhibit of neon art, and that was about it. Headphones in hand, I walked through the door (beneath a neon Mona Lisa), and was greeted by Trap Street<\/a>\u2019s Chad Eschman, who gave us a little background about the space. Although initially I had thought that this was a new installation specifically for the audio experience, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the space was the artist\u2019s studio and private collection, rarely opened to non-students, and that the stories had been written to enhance this hidden wonder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a few moments to familiarize myself with the layout of the Lakich gallery, I started the audio experiences. Along with a brief introduction, there are three stories you can choose from in any order \u2013 red, green, and purple, each taking you to different pieces of art through the course of their stories. Additionally, there are stations throughout the gallery with printed materials, providing additional depth to each of the narratives.<\/p>\n
