Join us for Illuminate as we gather in community to support the work of the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center. Set beneath the open sky, Illuminate is an outdoor art gallery experience exploring themes of healing, resilience, and the power of witness.
Produced by AEN, the creative force behind AURORA, Illuminate transforms an outdoor space into a collection of light-based installations and sculptures that come alive as the sun goes down. As evening falls, the art begins to illuminate, creating a gallery that unfolds beneath the stars.
Enjoy delicious bites and beverages as you move through the art and connect with others. Your participation directly supports the mission of the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center, benefiting survivors of sexual violence and strengthening access to healing across our community.
