Various locations in Toronto
Free all-night contemporary art event
For one sleepless night, from sunset to sunrise, the familiar is discarded and Toronto is transformed into an artistic playground for a series of exhilarating contemporary art experiences in unexpected public spaces.
Exhibition Projects produced by the City of Toronto
Under the direction of four curators, Nuit Blanche Toronto features more than 30 public art projects by local, national and international artists.
OBLIVION
Curated by Janine Marchessault and Michael Prokopow, you’ll find three exhibition projects at Nathan Phillips Square and City Hall. OBLIVION is about destruction and forgetting. It is about drowning in the pitch-blackness of pure and final absence. And it is about the possibilities of adaptation and unprecedented renewal.
Militant Nostalgia
Curated by Paco Barragán, this exhibition features 10 projects along John Street between Dundas Street and Front Street. Militant Nostalgia is a meditation on history and time.
And the Transformation Reveals
Join curator Camille Hong Xin with 10 projects along Bay Street betwen Dundas Street and Front Street.
Facing the Sky
Curated by Louise Déry, this exhibition features 10 projects along the waterfront. As ‘night-walkers’, we enter into the vertigo of the nocturnal sky.
Independent Projects produced by Toronto’s art community
Toronto artists, cultural and educational institutions, museums, galleries and neighbourhoods participate in Nuit Blanche Toronto each year by producing their own one-of-a-kind projects that transform the city.
