LUMA is a festival founded by artists, for artists, with the wholehearted embrace of an entire city.LUMA Festival is a free event that features the latest 3D projection mapping and animation technology to bring artwork to life on building facades.Throughout the evening, starting at sundown, animations will be projected at regular intervals on five buildings throughout Downtown Binghamton.
