A Magical New Experience Projected onto the Paramount

Color & Light celebrates the diverse voices of creators in our communities

“It takes all our colors to achieve light.”

This Equinox, March 21-22, 2025, Asbury Park, NJ, will shine bright when the inaugural Color & Light Festival transforms the façade of the boardwalk’s architectural treasure, the Paramount Theater, into a dazzling symphony of art, music and technology.

Presented by innovative digital art platform PolyOne in partnership with LUMA, the nation’s premier projection-mapping festival, Color & Light promises a breathtaking blend of creativity with purpose.

Free to the public, Color & Light will feature world-class projection-mapping creative teams and a local and international roster of Web3 artists, showcasing their digital creations. These visionary artists—from Budapest to Brooklyn, Tehran to Tokyo—will debut works that push the boundaries of art and reflect our human story.

What sets this festival apart is its commitment to collective impact. Through PolyOne’s
partnership with The Giving Block, proceeds from digital art sales will directly support charities addressing social and environmental causes. This innovative fusion of art and philanthropy empowers attendees to make a difference while immersing themselves in the transformative power of creation.

With a mission to elevate creators and harness blockchain for the greater good, PolyOne, in
collaboration with LUMA delivers more than a festival. They offer an opportunity for unity,
hope, and action true to the ethos of their names. PolyOne means “Of Many, One,” or “E-
Pluribus Unum.” LUMA means “Light”.

Shawn Emamjomeh is a resident of Asbury Park and the founder of PolyOne, a new digital art marketplace HQ'd in 07712.

With Asbury Park’s iconic Paramount as its stage, Color & Light lifts the curtain on the story of all of us. Don’t miss your chance to experience the celebration.
