City streets become a stage when the Illuminus arts festival takes over Downtown Boston the evenings of November 2 & 3. Highlighting the local arts and technology communities, Illuminus combines sound, light and video displays with sometimes interactive installations, projections and performances that take place right on Summer, Washington and School streets at Downtown Crossing for the second year in a row. With a variety of disciplines—from dance and music to visual arts and even live poetry—represented at past editions, Illuminus looks to be one festival that truly takes art to the people.
