Bentley Meeker Lighting and Staging is led by Bentley Meeker, an American artist and lighting designer based in Harlem, New York, with studio operations in Hell’s Kitchen. His artistic practice centers on the emotional and physical impact of light, exploring how it shapes environments and influences how people feel within them.
Beyond his studio work, Meeker is known for major public and cultural projects, including The “H” in Harlem (2014), a large-scale public installation beneath the 125th Street viaduct, and a light sculpture commissioned by Michelle Obama for the Nordic State Dinner at The White House in 2016. He has also been a featured artist at Burning Man for multiple years, creating lighting for the Temple of Transition, Temple of Whollyness, and Temple of Promise, and has exhibited at institutions such as The Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA, the National Arts Club, and galleries in Chelsea and SoHo.
As founder and president of Bentley Meeker Lighting & Staging, Inc., Meeker applies this artistic sensibility to events, creating distinctive light environments for private, cultural, fashion, and corporate settings. The company has supported White House state dinners, high-profile individuals, and a wide range of global brands across fashion, media, finance, entertainment, and hospitality.
