SPRK Lighting

SPRK is proud to celebrate the successful design and installation of MINILAND at the all-new LEGOLAND® Shanghai —the first LEGOLAND park in China!

As the centerpiece of every LEGOLAND park, MINILAND showcases intricate LEGO recreations of iconic cities and landmarks. At Shanghai, guests are immersed in a vibrant tribute to China’s most beloved cultural sites—brought to life in stunning miniature detail. SPRK designed a dynamic lighting environment that enhances the scale, story, and wonder of each model, including immersive day-to-night transitions that unfold as visitors journey through the space.

Working closely with Merlin Entertainments' creative team and the LEGO Group’s visionary designers, SPRK developed a lighting package that is immersive, playful, and culturally respectful. Though LEGO bricks may be small, MINILAND spans an area roughly the size of a football field—proving that great storytelling happens at every scale.

🎄✨🎃PROJECT RECAP🎃✨🎄

For Halloween and Christmas at the Indianapolis Zoo, B Morrow Productions, in collaboration with SPRK, designed a family friendly attraction that transforms with the seasons.

The best part? With a quick turnaround, the installation seamlessly shifts from spooky Halloween vibes to festive winter holiday magic. And once finished it can be stored until the next season.

We love working with the Indianapolis Zoo and B Morrow Productions to bring these experiences to life. Check out this highlight video 👇

We’re proud to highlight a fantastic project that recently opened in Pittsburgh, PA. “The Three Sisters” lighting show is a testament to the visionary creativity of Dr. Marques Redd, Mikael Owunna, and their nonprofit Rainbow Serpent. Their aim? To weave the powerful stories of the Andy Warhol, Roberto Clemente, and Rachel Carson Bridges with the three sister Yoruba goddesses (Oya, Oshun, and Yemaya) and the three sister crops (beans, corn, and squash) from Native American agricultural practices into a captivating architectural light design.SPRK’s own Ryan Gravilla and Matt Cooper had the pleasure of supporting this artistic vision to bring this light installation to life, creating an immersive experience on the bridges that merges art and technology.The work is on view nightly from November 23, 2024 - December 31, 2024 between sunset to midnight.
