A Message to our Gala Supporters:

Thank you so much for your ongoing and steadfast support of the Luminarts Cultural Foundation. While we were looking forward to welcoming you to The Gala on April 18th, the event has been postponed due to growing concerns and uncertainty related to COVID-19 and current CDC guidelines. Luminarts’ core values center around supporting the community. It’s those values that guide our response during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

With that said, we look forward to applying all gala support to our fall event and hope you can join us in celebrating at that time. Should you have any questions, please contact Marlena Dzis, Development Director, at marley@luminarts.org or (312) 692-2379.

I hope you and your families stay well in these challenging times.

Warmly,

Jason Kalajainen
Executive Director
