LUMINARIA SA 2011 - ARTS COME TO LIGHT - SATURDAY MARCH 12TH - FREE 

Join us as we celebrate contemporary arts in San Antonio, highlighting over 1000 artists from architecture, dance, media arts, literary arts, music, theatre, street performance, and visual arts.

This one-night festival features 9 performance stages, 3 galleries, and over 20 site specific installations throughout the grounds.  This is a FREE event, so there is no need to purchase tickets in advance.

Luminaria 2011 is a child of Hemisfair ‘68, a glimpse of light and how it intersects and interacts with art in San Antonio.  Luminaria 2011 seeks to reignite that moment in time, by reimagining HemisFair as a canvas for enlightened, innovative, and interactive contemporary artwork from all artistic disciplines. It honors the past as it celebrates the future.  It weaves its way through the light, air, earth, wind, and water, illuminating the hidden secrets of a park in the heart of a modern  city.
