Immerse yourself in the arts at the Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival this fall and celebrate San Antonio art, culture, and team spirit! Artists from various disciplines will exhibit and perform in a vibrant outdoor setting. Attendees can expect diverse artistic expressions including visual arts, live music, dance, large art installations, theatre, poetry, and performance art. This year’s festival promises to be a truly immersive and interactive experience as artists were challenged to reimagine the historic venue and create art that adapts to the location’s buildings, railroad, balconies, courtyards, and public spaces. Visitors can engage directly with the artists and witness the creative process.
