Luminato

Two rickshaws on King Street, outside David Pecaut Square, one site of the Luminato Festival in Toronto. The Festival stage is visible right, background.

In 2003, Tony Gagliano, Executive Chairman and CEO of St. Joseph Communications and a Board member of the Art Gallery of Ontario, was inspired by the cultural infrastructure being built in Toronto, and saw an unprecedented opportunity to cast the city in a new light – to its citizens and to the world. At the same time, David Pecaut, Senior Partner at the Boston Consulting Group and Chair of the Toronto City Summit Alliance, had concluded from his civic work that the arts were one of the most powerful means available to engage the many immigrant cultures converging in Toronto in a common project of city building. Tony and David met and the two passionate city-builders found their mutual beliefs in the transformative power of the arts, and thus, Luminato was born.

They shared the vision of a Festival that would reflect the authentic richness of the arts in Toronto, would take its vitality from the diversity of the city’s cultural communities, and would touch all residents while also inspiring visitors from around the globe to come to Toronto to experience Luminato.

Luminato has become one of the preeminent arts festivals in North America, having commissioned over 66 new works of art, and featured 7,500 artists from 40 countries.
