On Saturday, October 3, sunset to sunrise, the Humber College Community 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, and create installations geared at engaging both uninitiated and devoted art lovers from Toronto and beyond.

Nuit Blanche Toronto is a free, 12-hour contemporary art event, produced by the City of Toronto. Its mandate is to connect contemporary art to the broadest possible public and to create opportunities for audiences to explore and engage with contemporary art in public spaces. 

Nuit Blanche Independent Projects are self-produced projects situated in neighbourhoods all over Toronto, in traditional and non-traditional spaces, including public realm, parks, galleries, storefronts, office towers, streets and sidewalks. Applicants from any artistic discipline are eligible, but proposals should have a strong visual component and be rooted in contemporary art practice.

The Nuit Blanche Independent Project is open to all Humber Students, Faculty and Staff. The Nuit Blanche’s Artistic Director will select projects from submissions, and the projects are funded and produced by Humber College and the City of Toronto. Proposals should respond to the curatorial theme of the event and be located on the Humber Lakeshore Campus.

Application forms can be found here

Completed applications can be submitted via email to casey.norris@humber.ca. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 3, at 11:59 p.m.  Applicants will receive notification of results within 2-4 weeks of submissions closing date.
