OVERVIEW
Since its premiere in 2015, LUMA Projection Arts Festival has centered on high end, site-specific, projection mapped artworks from artists across the globe. In 2026, LUMA Projection Arts Festival will continue our newest initiative—LUMA Small Works—a curated selection of smaller, ready-made artworks throughout the festival footprint.
Do you work in AR/VR, projection, lighting installation, sound installation, generative art, or another art and technology intersection? We’re open to a wide range of projects, but we need you to let us know what you’re working on. Complete the following form to have your work considered for inclusion in LUMA Small Works.
If selected, your work will transform the festival footprint by filling smaller urban nooks with imaginative micro-projects, and will be exposed to tens of thousands of festival attendees over the course of LUMA weekend.
