Denise Perreault

Denise Perreault (COM’81) of Boulder, Colo., was one of five textile artists who helped design and weave Luminescence, a large, outdoor art installation at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder. Unveiled November 2014 and on view through 2017, the artwork includes strips of reflective metals woven onto two vertical outdoor grids, which reflect the environment by day. Come dusk, more than 2,300 individually addressed LEDs create a never-repeating light show that reflects and glows off the metal strips. Denise is the founder of Art Parts Creative Reuse Center, a nonprofit that collects and resells reusable industry surplus.
