Humber Galleries is excited to announce that Nuit Blanche is returning to the Humber Lakeshore Campus as an Independent Project Hub on Saturday, October 5, 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. The city will be transformed through contemporary art. This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate and showcase Toronto’s arts community and the City’s commitment to contemporary art, create installations geared at engaging both the unsuspecting and devoted art lovers.
Local artists are invited to submit their Independent Project applications to be part of Nuit Blanche at the Humber Lakeshore Hub by responding to the 2024 curatorial theme Bridging Distance. Projects by contemporary artists, collaborations between artists and researchers or creators working in other disciplines relevant to the theme, are welcome and encouraged.
Distance. How do we understand it? How do we feel it? How do we reconnect and bridge the gaps? Nuit Blanche Toronto asks artists to propose works that explore the multifaceted ways we experience and understand distance, while also reimaging how we can bridge distance through art. This is an opportunity for recalibration and reconnection with our city, our world, and each other, in public space.
The Humber Lakeshore Hub Independent Project program is open to all Humber College students, faculty, alumni and staff as well as Toronto based professional artists, collectives and arts organizations. Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee comprised of Humber College staff. the Nuit Blanche Toronto Artistic Director and City of Toronto staff.
Applications to the Humber Lakeshore Independent Project Program are due by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, February 11, 2024 via email to melissa.poliah@humber.ca.
