Plans for Luminate 2013 are well underway

Following its successful launch in 2012, Luminate will once again take place across Scotland in October 2013. The annual festival spotlights arts activities with, by and for older people, as well as a programme for audiences and participants across the generations. In its inaugural year the programme was packed with over 280 activities, and on any given day in October a Luminate event was in full swing somewhere in Scotland.

For an idea of the range of activities and places involved in the festival in its inaugural year, browse the Luminate 2012 programme listings using the search buttons on this page, or download a pdf of the brochure.

If you have plans for a project in October 2013 that fits with Luminate's themes and that you would like to present as part of Luminate, details of how to apply will be available in May. Please sign up for our e-newsletter to make sure you receive the latest updates as soon as they are available.
