Luminato Festival
Industry Series
Where bold ideas meet big opportunities.
Wednesday, June 3, 2026 – Sunday, June 7, 2026
Luminato Festival’s annual Industry Series is a multi-day incubator where artists, producers, presenters, and decision-makers come together to advance artistry to the next stage. The series provides an open floor to share, connect, and explore Canadian and international work at all stages of development.
Delegates can participate in networking events, pitch sessions, community conversations, and one-on-one meetings, bringing together diverse art communities across disciplines, borders, and perspectives to inspire—and be inspired—together.
Industry Series 2026
The 9th iteration of Luminato Festival’s Industry Series brings together presenters, creators, and cultural leaders from across the country and beyond.
The popular Pitch New Work sessions return, showcasing a diverse array of projects from Canada’s leading artists and companies, co-curated by the National Arts Centre’s National Creation Fund. Delegates will also get a first look at some of North America’s most exciting music theatre works in development (more info to come).
As an
Industry Series
