From and For: The Artists Who Built Us, A Decade of Growth

One of the rare, yet rewarding, moments for any artist-led initiative is the opportunity to pause and reflect on the work that has transpired. In the midst of constant creation and evolution, institutions like ours means that we are always a work-in-progress. Earlier this year, The Luminary marked a major milestone—ten years in our permanent location on Cherokee Street.

As artists, we know that sometimes the best things are made possible by “doing the most with the least.” However, as The Luminary has grown, so have our programs, community, audiences, and the subsequent needs required to support them. We have successfully built an interconnected and responsive art community that spans geographies, media, and lived experiences and expressions. As we continue to evolve and meet these growing needs, we’re reimagining how we can expand our capacity to nurture and support this thriving, dynamic ecosystem.

As we evolve, we ask you to consider becoming a member of The Luminary or making a one-time donation before the end of the year. Our new membership tiers have been designed for you: based on the needs and input of our community.
