Toronto – Nuit Blanche

One of the great things about living in Orangeville is that it’s the best of both worlds – we live in a small, safe, clean small town but we’re also very close to the big city and all that Toronto has to offer. One of the cool things that’s been happening in Toronto the past few years is Nuit Blanche -

6:52 pm to sunrise

For one sleepless night, experience Toronto transformed by artists.

Discover art in galleries, museums and unexpected places. From bridges and tunnels to warehouses and stadiums, choose from more than 155 destinations and chart your own path.

It’s impossible to see everything in 12 short hours! Check out the 2008 Programme details and make note of your favourites, then visit the Plan Ahead section of the website for useful tools to create your own art-after-dark adventure.

One night only. All night long.

One of those cool things that doesn’t happen in most cities. I’m not sure if I’ll get down to it but I’m excited about taking my girls to stuff like this as they get older. Although the tagline they’re using (“contemporary art thing”) does nothing to help the wishy-washy stereotype of artists that’s happening in Canada right now, it is awesome to see such a huge event getting the promotion that is happening all over the place right now.
