Artoronto.ca Picks / Nuit Blanche 2013

Saturday, September 5, 2013, from sunset to sunrise

Nuit Blanche is bigger than ever and all the city is preparing for the events. It is more centralized this year, so would be easier to see more shows and performances. Many of the big projects are already covered by the media such as Off to a Flying Start by Ami Barak, the Parade which is new this year, curated by Patrick Macaulay and Romancing the Anthropocene, curated by Ivan Jurakic and Crystal. It would be an exiting and busy night for thousand of people for sure.
