BlackStar Luminary Gala

BlackStar’s premiere fundraising event, supporting a suite of year-round cultural programming for and by Black, Brown, and Indigenous artists.
The Luminary Gala is an unforgettable evening of celebration, entertainment, dancing, and the presentation of the Luminary Awards. Proceeds from the event support BlackStar’s suite of year-round cultural programming that provides Black, Brown, and Indigenous artists with the resources, support, and shine they need to thrive.
The Luminary Gala is a semi-formal event that honors some of the brightest stars in the fields of art, film, and cultural production. Last year’s awardees were New Negress Film Society, Tourmaline, Annemarie Jacir and Louis Massiah. The gala will feature a cocktail hour followed by a seated dinner and after party.
