The inaugural season of the LunART Festival was a great success! It would never have been possible without the help and support of our artists, volunteers, donors, corporate sponsors, and of course, the wonderful open-minded audiences in Madison!

"I am feeling a multitude of gratitude!! Thank you! For allowing me to be a part of this. Last night had an incredibly cleansing energy...
In all times, but ESPECIALLY, THIS time - here and NOW, This Is Vital."

"I think we have all been waiting for this and we didn’t know how ready we were... The LunART Festival embraced women in all fields of music, drama, dance, poetry and writing. It felt different than any festival I have ever attended. There was so much conversation and sharing and bonding and networking that I feel a whole new world has been formed. We are all so very excited for this safe space to be recognized, accepted and applauded."
