WHAT: LUMEN FESTIVAL, presented by Staten Island Arts (formerly The Council on the Arts and Humanities for Staten Island, COAHSI)

LUMEN is a video and performance art festival featuring over 50 artists, curated by David C. Terry and Esther Neff and presented by Staten Island Arts in partnership with NYC Parks & Recreation.

Making use of Staten Island’s under-utilized waterfront, LUMEN will be held at Lyons Pool, a publicly-owned NYC Department of Parks and Recreation site, and will feature video installations, new media projections, animation, performance art, art interventions, and sound art.

LUMEN will transform the public, waterfront property into a luminous playground, equipped with empty Olympic size pools that have been turned into video screening areas, and roof top access to allow for a view of the Manhattan skyline alongside installation pieces.

Over 3,000 people attended LUMEN 2012, and more are expected to attend this year’s event!
Please visit the official LUMEN website at www.lumenfest.org to learn more about LUMEN, and to see images from previous years. LUMEN will be free of charge and open to the public.
