philosophy & philanthropy

Pioneered by founders Nick and Sophie Dunstone, Light ADL began with a substantial philanthropic contribution and is strategically designed to sustain indefinitely through diverse revenue streams that include restaurants, bars, functions, events, virtual production, and cutting-edge immersive technologies. This enterprise was ignited by the disruptive forces of COVID and the consequent digital revolution, reinforcing the essential need and untapped potential in this realm.  
‍
At the heart of Light ADL is our mission to provide meaningful employment opportunities and cultivate tailored training pathways for creatives to navigate the evolving landscape of arts and entertainment. As the venture evolves, we continually innovate to create wider opportunities for artists. We empower them with access to dynamic, evolving immersive technologies and facilitate one-of-a-kind collaborations. Furthermore, Light ADL stands at the forefront, shouldering the risks associated with trailblazing new territories in arts and entertainment, truly fostering an environment where creativity and innovation can thrive.

Quote from Co-Founder, Nick Dunstone:  
‘Sophie and I think the best way of contributing to the world is to do something we are both passionate about, but also that is audacious, and aims to be self-sustaining and creative – and as we know achieving perpetual self-sustainability is extremely challenging in the Arts.’

‘LIGHT is a canvas for creativity and togetherness. We want to advance human connection by harnessing future technology to create infinite possibilities. Together, we can channel the magic of human chemistry for the digital world and transform artistic expression into breathtaking experiences.’

As we work towards expanding our reach globally, we invite you to join us in championing this transformative platform, designed to empower and uplift diverse voices through accessible, innovative experiences. Together, we can create a lasting legacy that strengthens the cultural fabric of communities around the world and inspires the next generation of creative thinkers and
change-makers.
