Fostering a Culture of Empathy, Inclusivity and Safety

Luminato Festival Toronto seeks to foster an inclusive and secure environment that extends to everyone involved in the festival, including our audiences, artists, staff, volunteers, and other collaborators. 

We are committed to creating spaces which warmly embrace our city’s diversity as we strive to design more equitable experiences for people from historically marginalized communities. 

We champion the rights of all individuals to enjoy freedom of speech and expression, recognizing its centrality in the creation of great art.  



We ask individuals to treat others with dignity and respect and to collaborate with us in building an atmosphere of safety and inclusivity. 

We strongly urge all those involved in the festival to actively embrace this responsibility, acknowledging our collective duty to foster a welcoming and safe environment for everyone.
