This is the first one ever held in our Queen City and it’s going to be amazing! Nuit Blanche Regina will take place during Culture Days on September 29th, 2018. For those of you who haven’t heard of Nuit Blanche, the term refers to a “Sleepless Night.” The concept originated in 1990 in Nantes, France, when Jean Blaise, the founder of the Research Centre for Cultural Development, curated a series of nighttime arts festivals under the theme “Les Allumées” (“The Lighted Up”). Paris organized its own version of this festival, using the name “Nuit Blanche,” in 2002. Since then, these events have been held in cities worldwide. Nuit Blanche is typically an annual, all-night festival filled with art installations, performances, music, film, and dance. It is a free event intended to be enjoyed by everyone.
