theFund is gearing up for another year of Luminaria, and we
could not be more excited about it. Together with the help of the growing
Volunteer Corps of 2013, made up of volunteers representing countless
organizations and companies from around San Antonio, we are going to make the
sixth annual Luminaria better than ever. A special shout out to some of our
biggest supporters:
-Broadway
Bank: see them at the t-shirt tents
-Citibank:
find them in the ticket booths
-Bank of
America: working at the command center
-Phyllis
Browning and SSFCU: directing from the information kiosks
This year, food trucks will line South Alamo in addition to
the already vast array of food vendors available, and thanks to Silver Eagle,
our Beer Concessions will be fully stocked (don’t worry: there’ll be plenty of
soda and water for the youngsters). And this year, the Luminaria shirts were
designed especially by an artist and will be available in addition to vintage
souvenir shirts from previous years.
For 2013, we are so happy to say that we have 38 artists new
to Luminaria in addition to 52 returning artists. Among the new artists are The
Aesthetic of Waste, ARTheism, Katy Silva, and Bleep Attack!. Don’t forget to
make your way over to the Riverwalk, where you’ll be able to enjoy art both on
and along the river. There will also be performances all night at the Arneson
Theatre behind La Villita. You’re not going to want to miss the new and
exciting theatre, music, dance, and visual and media arts that are coming
together on Saturday, March 9th.
