Toronto Nuit Blanche 2024 coming Oct 5

Come for the late night party, stay for the art and try to navigate the crowds. It's time for the annual all-night, free art event in Toronto on Saturday, October 5, 2024, produced by the City of Toronto. The waterfront will be a centralized destination this year, a new event hub, during the 7pm to 7am art festival (the bird man shown at top was from the 2022 Nuit Blanche). It looks like the hub at Toronto City Hall is not part of the 2024 event.

The White Night art installations began in 2006 and almost 1,600 projects have been exhibited since the original start of Nuit Blanche. From the Nuit Blanche website, "This year’s theme, Bridging Distance, invites audiences to explore ways in which they experience and perceive distance through three exhibitions and more than 80 works by local, national and international artists (including Independent & Special Projects). The program also includes a series of talks, tours and workshops that bring the public closer to the creative process than ever before."

You can see some of the previous Nuit Blanche events through my post label. I will be working on my art lite-bike so that it is ready for the night of discovery. Here are some of the projects I am looking forward to visiting in 2024.

#81: Mochoid (Kensington - Chinatown, 330 Dundas St West) Spinning light taking the shape of water.
#75: Continuous - Connected (Wellington Place, 401 Richmond St West) Illuminated pillars representing time connected by glittering threads.
#55: Garden Light: A Holographic Eden (Wellington Place, 401 Richmond St West) Live music and holographic gardens.
