Minnesota Opera and the Luminary Arts Center abide by the anti-racist and anti-oppressive values set forth in MN Opera’s Diversity Charter. We, therefore, make an explicit rejection of racism. In addition, the Luminary also rejects all forms of oppression including, but not limited to, cissexism, heterosexism, ableism, ageism, and misogyny. Please note that while the Luminary does not curate rentals, we expect those who choose to rent the space will share our values of working towards becoming an anti-racist, anti-oppressive organization.
