Nuit Blanche Toronto 2021: Fellowship at Lakeshore Campus

Nuit Blanche Toronto is a free and annual overnight event, produced by the City of Toronto. It presents opportunities for audiences to explore new neighborhoods and engage with contemporary art in public spaces. Humber Galleries and Humber College Lakeshore Campus is pleased to partner with Nuit Blanche Toronto on this popular event. This summer, we invite students to put their creative skills to use and collaborate on a Fellowship project with classmates from a wide range of disciplines. Led by Humber Bachelor of Music alumnus Mason Victoria, they will work together over 14 weeks, engaging in the ideation and production of a dynamic multi-disciplinary artistic project for this year's Nuit Blanche Toronto. 

October 2, 2021 marks the 16th edition of Nuit Blanche Toronto and includes a major shift in the curatorial vision of the event. Its theme, The Space Between Us, has become even more pertinent during these many months of isolation amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic. Its content and audience participation will inevitably reflect new opportunities and obstacles for artists, encouraging everyone to rethink how we access art installations and collections, without undermining the true value of visitor experience. Whether intended to be exhibited in-person or online, physical distancing and the ability to display artwork in an online format should be kept at the forefront of mind when producing in-person projects.
