Bruce Munro Archives - Myrtle Beach FYI

Whether you’re looking for a romantic night with a loved one or a fun night the whole family will enjoy, Brookgreen Gardens has got you covered.

On Friday and Saturday nights during the month of October, Brookgreen Gardens is hosting Autumn Nights in the Field of Light, an extravagant display of lights. Bruce Munro, a famous artist known for his immersive light displays, is the mastermind behind the Field of Light.

Each evening begins with a Lowcountry buffet filled with classic dishes including She Crab soup, Frogmore Stew, Steamed Oysters, and more. You can also grab a drink at the cash bar before walking through the stunning display.

Tickets are $45 for Brookgreen Garden members and $50 for the general public. VIP Packages are also available for $200 and include two tickets, reserved seating, two glasses of wine, premier parking, and Bruce Munro’s new book Light. Purchase your tickets online today to be sure you get to experience this beautiful evening.

Not all activities remain closed this summer in Myrtle Beach. The Bruce Munro Southern Light exhibit at Brookgreen Garden is now open for visitors. While they practice social distancing, they continue to offer an immersive experience in art and light.

The installation consists of seven works of mixed media. Created by the artist Bruce Munro, each exhibit is geared toward a specific garden room. Using tens of thousands of components, Munro builds each sculpture from the ground up.

His previous work titled “Field of Light at Sensorio” was featured in Paso Robles, Calif. The New York Times highlighted this in what they refer to as a “mind-bending spectacle” in a recent article on art and design.

From May 15 to Sept. 12, Wednesdays through Saturdays 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m., Myrtle Beach visitors can meander through the mesmerizing visual experience. For all those living on the East coast, you’ll want to take advantage of these dates. This is the only chance Munro’s work will be featured on this side of the country.

The team at Brookgreen Gardens urges visitors to uphold social distancing etiquette. This can be done by respecting one-way paths, keeping 6-feet apart, wearing a mask, and washing your “paws.”
