Voices
What Past Visitors Say
Words from the artists, collectors, and creative spirits who made Lumina 2024 unforgettable.
Lumina changed the way I see public art. The light installations at dusk were something I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. Already booked for 2025.
Rena Vidal
Curator, Pacific Arts Foundation
I came for the workshops and left with five new collaborators and the most inspired I've been in years. The encaustic painting session was transformative.
Marco Belli
Independent Artist, Rome
As a collector I've been to dozens of art fairs. Lumina is different — it's warm, human, and deeply intentional. I purchased three pieces and made lasting friendships.
Diane Souza
Art Collector, San Francisco
