The Department of Illumination was founded in 2013 by a group of artists in Prince Edward County, Ontario, who came together to create the Firelight Lantern Festival, and they’ve been lighting up The County ever since! They aim to bring joy and creativity to the community by producing festivals, workshops, and other artistic events. Their company of artists weaves creativity into the fabric of the community, bringing people together for shared experiences of wonder and beauty. They strive to be a cultural leader, demonstrating excellence and innovation in rural arts.
