illumine at Oakland Cemetery
Now in its 19th year, Historic Oakland Foundation presents illumine, the annual immersive art event that lights up the Cemetery after dark for two consecutive weekends in April. As the sun sets, the night will reveal light-centered interactive and immersive art in a “gallery space” unlike any in Atlanta.
For the second year, Oakland is partnering with Atlanta-based gallery Cat Eye Creative to co-curate illumine with new artists and a new path through the cemetery, bringing light and art installations to the shadows of mausoleums and sections of the cemetery never explored by the public during illumine.
In addition to exploring parts of the Cemetery after the sun sets, illumine attendees will also enjoy live entertainment, multiple bars, and an Oakland pop-up shop. This year, we are excited to offer art-centered workshops and new ways to experience illumine, including Premium Tickets, Artist Spotlight Tours, and Pick Your Price Nights.
