Nuit Blanche, Toronto’s free all-night celebration of contemporary art, returns to Humber Polytechnic Lakeshore Campus on October 4, 2025, transforming public spaces into extraordinary landscapes.
As a hub for Nuit Blanche Toronto, Humber Polytechnic Lakeshore Campus is now accepting Independent Project applications. Applicants from any artistic discipline are eligible, but proposals should have a strong visual component and be rooted in contemporary art practices. Proposals should also address and integrate Nuit Blanche Toronto’s 2025 theme, Translating the City, which invites artists, curators and audiences to consider how cities can be reimagined, communicated and felt through art. The event will feature three unique exhibitions, projects presented by cultural institutions and a multitude of independent works by local artists.
The Independent Project program is open to all Toronto-based professional artists, collectives, and arts organizations as well as Humber Polytechnic students, faculty, alumni, and staff. All applications will be reviewed by a Selection Committee comprised of Humber Galleries staff, the Nuit Blanche Artistic Director and City of Toronto staff.
Applications to the Humber Lakeshore Independent Project Program are due by Friday, January 24, 2025, 11:59 p.m. EST via email to melissa.poliah@humber.ca.
