The Department of Illumination was founded in 2013, with our first Firelight Lantern Festival. Since then, we’ve been fostering joy and creativity through festivals, workshops and artistic events for people of all ages. Your contributions help us continue this mission, making it possible for us to engage the community in meaningful and imaginative ways.
We strive to be a cultural leader, demonstrating excellence and innovation in rural arts. When you give to the Department of Illumination, you are providing incredible, unforgettable experiences year-round that create a sense of connection and shared joy for residents and visitors alike.
Give today to boost the impact of art related JOY in rural communities.

My 3 year old daughter Amelia and I raised money through some custom-designed tote bag sales and chose Dept. of Illumination to donate $5 of each sale. We love everything you do for the community, and Amelia especially loves the Lantern Festival.
