Step into the vibrant, ever-shifting world of Toronto's Luminato Festival with LuminoCity. This audio companion, crafted by the festival team itself, extends the energy and ideas of the event far beyond its scheduled dates. Rather than just a preview, each episode is designed to add layers to your understanding, whether you're planning your visit or reflecting from afar. You'll hear artists in conversation, not just about their work but about the impulses and questions that drive them.

We pull back the curtain on the intricate process of bringing ambitious projects to life, sharing the candid, often unseen efforts that make it all happen. The LuminoCity podcast also explores the broader themes that connect the festival's diverse programming-those threads of thought about community, technology, and expression that give each year a unique resonance. It’s an auditory layer to a multi-sensory event, all set to an original score by Ty Simon. For anyone curious about the stories behind the stages and the conversations sparked by contemporary art, this series offers a rich, enduring supplement to the live experience.
