[edit] History
The gallery launched November 1, 2005 in order to provide a socially conscious bridge between media art and local commerce. With support from local businesses such as the Brattle Theatre, American Repertory Theatre, and Grendel's Den, Lumen Eclipse aims to foster a privately sustainable creative outlet to encourage a public dialogue between artistic, commercial, and cultural interests in the community.
