Luminato

Hey Guys, this is something I stubbled upon and I thought I would share it with you.


Luminato (International Festival of Arts + Creativity) is a federally registered charitable organization dedicated to celebrating the creative spirit by showcasing excellence in the arts and partnerships with new artists.

Now in its fourth year, Luminato is an annual ten-day celebration of the arts where Toronto's stages, streets, and public spaces are infused with theatre, dance, classical and contemporary music, film, literature, visual arts, and design. This year it’s in June.

Luminato embraces three key programming principles: collaboration, accessibility, and diversity.

Luminato embraces artistic collaboration - creating unforgettable moments by bringing together artists from different cultures and genres. The festival encourages local, national, and international artists to discover unprecedented creative expressions through unexpected partnerships


Luminato's hallmarks include free widely accessible events, and "accidental encounters with art." Festival-goers are invited to participate, explore, and celebrate their own creative spirit.

Luminato embraces and celebrates Toronto's cultural diversity, and recognizes that creativity flourishes when cultures join together in a spirit of tolerance and respect.

Luminato is proud to partner with selected schools and specialty programs in underserved communities and neighbourhoods - offering students from grades K-12 experiential workshops, artist in- the-school visits, presentations and discussions. These programs are designed to encourage interactive participation and meaningful engagement with the Festival programming and themes, while providing enrichment and connections to the classroom curriculum. More information will be coming soon. For more information, contact: education@luminato.com
