Artists and storytellers deserve respect for their creative contributions. When programming includes the presentation of creative work—such as staged readings, film screenings, or other artistic showcases—we emphasize the importance of honoring intellectual property and the rights of creators.

Participants presenting work through our programming represent that they have the authority to share or present that work.

Karnelian Luminare™ values collaboration with organizations that support artists, cultural storytelling, and community engagement. When partnering with institutions, nonprofits, or community groups, we work collaboratively to design programming that aligns with the goals of the organization while maintaining a meaningful and engaging experience for participants.

Our role may include program design, event facilitation, creative consulting, or production support.

Karnelian Luminare™ is committed to fostering creative spaces that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We believe that inclusive programming strengthens storytelling by welcoming a wide range of perspectives, voices, and lived experiences.

We actively strive to create environments where individuals of different racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, genders, identities, and creative disciplines feel respected and valued. We believe these voices and experiences play an important role in shaping creative culture.

Our programming seeks to highlight diverse artistic voices and encourage participation from communities that have historically been underrepresented within creative industries.

We recognize that inclusion requires ongoing effort, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and continuing to improve how we support diverse creators and communities.

Storytelling exists across many artistic forms—including theatre, film, literature, visual arts, music, and interactive media. Our programming often centers storytelling as a shared cultural experience that connects people across disciplines and communities.

Some programming may explore complex, mature, or emotionally challenging themes. When relevant, we strive to provide appropriate context so that participants can make informed decisions about their participation.

We also encourage open dialogue and respectful engagement when discussing creative work that touches on cultural, social, or personal topics.

When Karnelian Luminare™ collaborates with organizations, artists, or community partners, we believe in transparent and respectful attribution of the work being produced.

Programs designed, produced, or facilitated by Karnelian Luminare™ should include appropriate acknowledgment of the organization’s role in the event or initiative. Likewise, when programming is presented in collaboration with partners, we work together to ensure that branding and recognition reflect the contributions of all parties involved.

Clear attribution helps audiences understand the collaborative nature of creative work and supports continued partnerships across the creative ecosystem.

Organizations interested in working with Karnelian Luminare™ may engage us to design or implement programming that supports creative communities, artistic exploration, or storytelling initiatives.

• creative salons and cultural conversations

We approach these collaborations with flexibility and care, tailoring programming to the needs of each organization and the communities they serve.
