Luminato Festival 2020 Commissioning and Co-Productions:

Festival's team are particularly interested in projects that we can invest in at the ground level and develop over time, with the intention that the finished work will premiere at Luminato Festival. They  are already working with a number of partners in this capacity on projects for 2020 and beyond.

Festival's team aim to produce that which no one else in Toronto could or would produce. This does not include providing financial support for productions of works that fall within the regular output of local artists and arts.

Presenting in Luminato Festival 2020:

Luminato Festival seeks to present exciting high calibre work that is new to Toronto, if not the world. Festival's team are not able to support local remounts of productions or exhibitions, or provide marketing support to outside projects that happen during our festival dates. Additionally, They also try to avoid presenting work that will have an indefinite run in Toronto either before or after the festival.

Luminato Festival by the Numbers:

In its first decade, Luminato has become one of the preeminent arts festivals in North America, having commissioned close to 100 new works of art, with over 3,000 performances featuring more than 13,000 artists. 82% of participating artists were Canadian, and 18% were from over 40 countries around the world.
