Luminaria
Arts night in San Antonio

San Antonio residents are invited to attend the City's First Annual Luminaria on Saturday, March 15. Luminaria, which means a small clever light that conjures up creative ideas which inspires waves of innovation, is an all day celebration that will highlight San Antonio's premier artists and art organizations through visual, performing, multi-media, theatre, dance, music and other artistic forms.

For one day, artists will come together for this unprecedented celebration. The event is free and will feature over 40 non-profit organizations. Throughout the day, citizens can visit various exhibitions across the city, including the downtown celebration from 6 p.m. to midnight.

The downtown celebration will feature several stages, storefront exhibitions along Alamo Plaza and Houston Street and unique performances throughout the streetscape. There will also be something special for the youth of San Antonio as the Magik Theatre, 420 S. Alamo, holds a special showing. 

This unique event was inspired by the success of the international art celebrations in Paris and Madrid. The event will be a first for not only the City but the state. No other city in Texas has ever attempted to coordinate a continuous artistic, educational and innovative programming for a city-wide arts celebration.

Come be a part of this monumental celebration showcasing San Antonio's diverse artistic community. For more information about the Luminaria visit www.luminariasa.com. The Luminaria is presented by Bank of America in partnership with the City of San Antonio, AT&T and the Ford Motor Company.
