Only in New Orleans, the annual LUNA F\u00eate is a collaboration that marries art, the season and lighting technology to create one of the most dashing festivals in town. Established by the Arts Council New Orleans two years ago, the mission was to use the city\u2019s landscape as the canvas for a massive outdoor public display of art designed with technology and light. The celebration lasts for several days in December and features digital sculptures, lit installations, art animated with tech, and video-mapping projections.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The goal of the LUNA F\u00eate is to inspire and engage everyone who sees it, regardless of age. This year, the LUNA F\u00eate will grow across the city as it leads up to the Tri-Centennial celebration in 2018. The event is always free and open to the public. This year, it operates from December 7 \u2013 10, and you can check out the display from 6 \u2013 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Where art, tech, tourism, architecture and community engagement intersect, you\u2019ll find LUNA F\u00eate. It\u2019s also a nod to the street-based artistry of the region, and connecting admirers to free art is a New Orleans tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Head to Lafayette Square to begin your tour of the installation, with volunteers, Arts Council staff and the artists on hand to answer questions.
