The perfect backdrop for artistic exploration and appreciation, Lux Art Institute is located on a four-acre parcel overlooking the San Elijo Lagoon, and is surrounded by a wildlife preserve that stretches two miles to the Pacific Ocean.

Lux is committed to maintaining the native habitat at the campus. As part of the building process, Lux teamed with local landscape designers to install an array of rare native plants throughout the site. Visitors to Lux can tour the native gardens and explore the many benefits of planting native species.

The site extends the Lux art experience outside the walls of the facility. Since its inception, Lux has commissioned on-site installations that continue to be a key feature of the institute's campus.

This combination of original artwork and native habitat results in a setting that is both aesthetically stimulating and ecologically sustainable.
