About
The weekend of September 25-27 marks the fourth year of LUNA FEST; the highly successful art festival in Revelstoke, BC. LUNA FEST is an annual contemporary art, performance, and music festival. Developed by a small group of creatives and executed with the help of hundreds of volunteers, LUNA has redefined a city known for outdoor adventure into a cultural destination.
LUNA RE-IMAGINED is a real-time and virtual experience that ensures the public can participate in arts and culture in a socially distanced way while providing an enriching art experience.
Friday, September 25th, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm: LUNA SOUND-ish celebrates contemporary music and film. This live streamed event will feature the premier of local filmmaker Francois Derosier’s newest film Full Circle, an original composition by Indigenous artist, songwriter, and composer Edzi-u, a boundary-pushing visual experience by performance artist Ralph Escamillan, music by singer and composer Leila Neverland, and a punctuation mark ending by local musicians DJ-Si and Leno TK.
Saturday, September 26th, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm: LUNA ARTS-ish features site-specific Art Alleries on the edge of contemporary art. This year’s focus will be the unveiling of six new permanent public art pieces in the city’s downtown core featuring sculpture, photography, mixed media, and stained glass. Revelstoke’s alleyways have become an extra layer of discovery for locals and visitors.
Sunday, September 27th, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm: LUNA STUDIO-ish engages visitors interested in a deeper understanding of the concept and process of the art-making experience, providing the opportunity to meet the Art Allery Artists and also provides the public a chance to participate in the making of a LUNA 2021 art project: Climate Action Quilt: a current collaboration within four schools in District 19, from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Linking conservation, nature exploration, and artistic practice, the youth in our community are creating a “call to action” through this artistic and collaborative quilt. Members of the community are invited to create their own patch to be included in this large-scale project.
