Kathy Armstrong, Luminaria’s executive director, said artists proposals should consider the history, land and cultures of San Antonio. Armstrong said that is what makes this year’s festival different than previous years. 

"This is San Antonio's tricentennial year, so we are specifically asking artists and musicians and poets to think about the Tricentennial,” Armstrong said. "To think about San Antonio's identity and to create work about that.”

Details about the free application process are on LuminariaSA.org under “Get Involved.”  

This year’s festival will take place in the Hemisfair district on Nov. 10.
