Description

The Luminary Center for the Arts is an immaculate gallery space and concert venue that prides itself on giving local, national and international artists the opportunity to showcase their work.

The Luminary pushes the convergence of art and community, with artists in residence and a range of programming from the annual Off White Indie Wedding show to the recently launched AV, an art and music equipment sharing collective.

They also initiated a music series, which takes place in the... More »
