SAN ANTONIO — Luminaria is putting out the call for artists for its tentative festival date in October.
The iconic Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival brings together artists from fine art, dance, music, theater, film and much more for one night. The festival hopes to showcase artists from San Antonio, South Texas and Texas, but applicants from anywhere are welcome to apply.
The group set a tentative date for the festival of October 18, 2025. The event usually takes place over multiple locations in downtown and central San Antonio.
“Our goal with Luminaria is to celebrate and support artists and give them a platform to inspire our community as a whole,” said Yadhira Lozano, Luminaria Executive Director. “Through this open call process, we hope to encourage artists of all artistic genres representing the diverse voices and backgrounds of our artistic community to share their unique vision.”
The organization is specifically looking for works of art that include illumination or lighting in a unique or creative way. They encourage large art installations as well. Applications are evaluated by a committee made up of local working artists and art experts.
The application is open at AnyArtist.org. A Zoom meeting is being held for artists who are interested and want to ask questions of the organization about the process. That meeting is Thursday, February 20th, at 7 p.m. The open call ends on February 23.
