The display is smaller this year, and more socially distant
Yes, Luna Fete is still happening, but it’s smaller and socially distant this year. We were able to grab these photos on the first weekend; the second happens Dec. 18-20. Click here for more information and to see the installation map, and enjoy these photos from Luna Fete Seven.

Small groups socially distance and enjoy the Iris of Memory designed by William Nemitoff, Friday, December 11, 2020. Luna Fete is partnering with Friends of the Lafitte Greenway for Supernova on the Greenway, a luminary art exhibit bringing light and life to the Greenway in December 2020 to celebrate the Greenways 5th birthday. The displays are visible 5-9pm nightly till December 20th with special projected displays around the city on the weekends. Luna Fete scaled down from its large displays along Lafayette Street in the CBD because of the pandemic this year. Nemitoff worked with Luna Fete in past years and wrote on the dedication plaque May this space be filled with love, laughter, creativity and blossoms of new memories. The steel sculpture is inspired by the Louisiana Iris planted nearby in the bioswales or channels to move stormwater on the greenway. Other displays include Reconnecting to Connect by Monique Lorden, which shows different colored figures slowing raising a fist for change, and the Alveare Luminoso (Glowing Hive) by Luba Zygarewicz that is a series of honeycombed shape panels that make interesting colors in the darkness. Ketleflower by Josh Pitts resembles a sunflower and is a light + sound immersive art installation created with the intention of providing a breath of fresh air. VectorFlow by Marcella Del Signore and Cordula Roser Gray is located in Duncan Plaza and consists of sculptural trees that utilize a sensor system to record movement of nearby pedestrians. And The FENCE lines the Greenway with photos taken from around the world including some by local artists. Photos by Matthew Hinton
