Nuit Blanche Returns!

Nuit Blanche Toronto returns October 4 with an invitation to “Translate the city through art”. Toronto’s free, all-night celebration of contemporary art, returns for its 19th edition on Saturday, October 4 at 7 p.m. through Sunday, October 5 at 7 a.m.  

This year’s theme, Translating the City, envisioned by Laura Nanni, Artistic Director of Nuit Blanche, invites audiences to explore the ways art interprets and transforms urban life, bridging language, culture, identity and place. 

Translating the City reflects Toronto’s multilingual character where more than 200 languages are spoken, and reimagines how we communicate and connect through spoken, written, visual, gestural, sonic and emotional forms. 

Notable Highlights 

This year’s program features large-scale projects made possible through the support of valued partners: 

• The Eye of Wisdom by Ellen Pau: A large-scale projection incorporates Hong Kong Sign Language created as a love letter to Toronto. This project is sponsored by Arts in Hong Kong.
