The Lumie Awards, designed by Tom Philabaum.
New Lumies are lighting up Tucson’s arts community, with the announcement and presentation Friday night at the Tucson Museum of Art of this year’s winners, presented by the Tucson Pima Arts Council. Nominations from the community were made in 10 different categories. A panel of judges chose the winners.
