LUMEN, organized by Staten Island Arts, is not a traditional film festival or gallery art experience. It is a one-day festival that features video and performance art by emerging artists and more established artists at the forefront of their media.

LUMEN begins before the sun sets and continues until midnight. Videos, performances, and installations occur simultaneously. There is no “main stage” or center focus, instead visitors are invited to organically discover art scattered throughout the site.

The fifth incarnation of the festival will be where it all began: Atlantic Salt Company’s waterfront dock — 561 Richmond Terrace. The international outdoor and performance art festival is curated by David C. Terry and Esther Neff.

LUMEN Festival 2014 is FREE and open to the public. A suggested donation of $5 collected at the door helps cover event costs. Purchase Special Access Passes NOW to Support LUMEN + receive beverage + food perks!
