Lumies Winners Interviewed on PBS “Arizona Illustrated” News Hour
The Lumies Arts and Business Awards recognize the “luminaries” who help to shape and nurture the arts in Tucson and Pima County. For the second year in a row, Lumies Winners will be featured on Arizona Illustrated (KUAT / Channel 6) over a 6-week period, starting July 9th.
Every Lumie winner has a fascinating story to tell. We are grateful to Producer Tony Paniagua, Director Jacobo Ramirez and the Arizona Illustrated staff for making this series of broadcasts possible, as well as to our participating 2012 Lumies winners.
