LIMEHOF receives $87,400 grant for new touchscreen interactive stations

The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) was recently awarded a $87,400 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for the purchase of professional high-end electronic touchscreen interactive stations for the exhibit space and hall of fame areas in their Stony Brook location at 97 Main St.

“We are so grateful to the Gardiner Foundation for their generous support in funding the new touchscreen interactive stations,” said LIMEHOF Executive Director Judi Lach Veeck. “This innovative technology will greatly enhance the interactive experience and storytelling for our guests at the Hall of Fame.”

LIMEHOF is working with Northern Light Productions which has created similar media experiences in collaborations with many prominent museums and other halls of fame across the U.S. and internationally. The new touchscreen interactive stations are professional level machines similar to those featured in major cultural institutions and will be installed by New York City-based AV company Electrosonic.

“Across all these institutions, our work provides a taste of the inductees’ transcendence without stripping away their humanity or overwhelming visitors,” said Andy Kukura, principal at Northern Light Productions. “We’re eager to do the same for LIMEHOF, creating an interactive that weaves together compelling imagery and sound, carefully distilled and curated content, and rich visitor participation to beckon them into the stories of the inductees.”

The new touchscreen interactive stations are expected to be installed by the end of this year.
