Toronto Events

Nuit Blanche:
Nuit Blanche is a free all night contemporary art 'thing' on October 3rd, 2009. The 4th annual Nuit Blanche includes the work of over 500 artists exhibiting in galleries, museums and unexpected places all over the city such as bus stations, grocery stores and even underneath bridges. I'm super excited for this and will definitely be attending as a first time participant going all the way from dusk 'til dawn (I've been out of town for every past year so I'm going all out this weekend)!
