ILA is dedicated to supporting the arts, the immersive arts in particular.  

Pioneered by founders Nick and Sophie Dunstone who began the philanthropic endeavor in 2021, our mission is to create opportunities for artists to give audiences new experiences in the world of immersive art – to extend the work of traditional and digital artists, performers and musicians by providing the support and the venue that brings their vision to life.  

In the process, establishing for Adelaide a unique immersive light and art venue for the celebration and appreciation of immersive experiences in a space where creativity, technology and hospitality blend to deliver breathtaking and innovative new experiences.  

Like magnets we bring people together to tell, share and experience stories, creating a community that empowers artists and strengthens the cultural fabric of our communities. Our multifaceted institution is home to a number of unique spaces hidden behind our 150 year old heritage façade. Profits generated through ILA’s events, hospitality and immersive technologies are invested back to support our mission to create opportunities for artists.
