LUNA ARTS is a mind-blowing extravaganza of installation art, interactive performances, and Art Alleries discoveries spread across Revelstoke’s downtown core. For one night only, downtown Revelstoke transforms into a living, glowing gallery, showcasing installations, performances, and creative encounters in unexpected places.

This year, the theme for LUNA Festival is “the art of resistance”. This theme invites artists to explore resistance not only as political defiance, but as a vital force woven through our bodies, our relationships, our environment, and our collective spirit. Artists are encouraged to interpret “resistance” in all its forms.

Join us for the most magical night of the year in Revelstoke! Discover art around every corner, performances that will take your breath away, and immerse yourself in this small, vibrant mountain town.

I canonized three figures who chose clarity over comfort, Sophie Scholl, George Orwell, and Charlie Chaplin, as saints for these disoriented times. Their messages are not historical artifacts. They are instructions for now. This work is a mirror. They did not become saints by waiting. Neither will we.
Pausing for Poetry showcases the work of local poets and printmakers. Revelstoke residents were invited to submit poems on any theme or topic.

Melt Ice is a protest piece about the forceful ICE raids. the installation uses melting ice as a central metaphor.

“Re/Set the Clock” reimagines the Doomsday Clock and asks what it means to borrow the language of urgency and apply it to a different kind of disaster: the slow normalization of fascist, far-right, and oppressive ideologies. The interactive installation asks its audience: Will you help to push it back?
A single thread may break, but together we are the fabric of the future.
