LUMIES: Noche de las Artes, A Celebration of Arts Heroes (Tucson and Southern Arizona)
For more than a decade, the Lumies Arts & Business Awards has celebrated individuals, organizations, and businesses that make Tucson and Southern Arizona a wellspring of creative vitality. This year, the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona will partner with ON Media as the Arts Hero Sponsor. Arts Heroes represent community members who have championed, supported, or take part in the arts–whether it be on the stage, behind the scenes on the gallery floor, or in the seats.
This year’s Lumies will highlight 2016-2017 Arts Heroes. The event will take place on September 28, 2017 at the Reid Park Outdoor Performance Center in Tucson.
