LUMINO is a major free public winter event in Montreal. Scheduled to run through early March, the initiative features a collection of illuminated artistic installations and video projections spread across numerous indoor and outdoor locations in the city's central entertainment district and downtown core.
LUMINO includes a total of 35 installations, comprising new and original works, with a strong emphasis on participation and interactivity for attendees. The installations range from suspended luminous sculptures at prominent hotels to interactive light structures and large-scale video mappings on architectural surfaces, with the full roster of artworks being unveiled in phases throughout the event's duration.
As a cultural initiative, LUMINO strives to redefine public engagement with urban spaces during the winter season.
