What Is illuminarium?
illuminarium is a community and private event space to think and to challenge conventional thinking. Located in the popular Poncey Highland/Old Fourth Ward area of Atlanta, Georgia, illuminarium is a place where big ideas are discussed and shifts in perception are initiated. Guests are invited to check their mobile devices and their notions of what is possible at the door while they immerse themselves in a creative zone of inspiration and enlightenment.
