Nuit Blanche is an annual all-night arts festival that takes place in various cities around the world. The event typically features a wide range of contemporary art installations, performances, and exhibitions, allowing artists to showcase their work in public spaces. Visitors can explore the city while experiencing art in unexpected locations, often transforming the urban landscape into a vibrant gallery. The festival originated in Paris in 2002 and has since inspired similar events in cities like Toronto, Rome, and Melbourne. During Nuit Blanche, many cultural institutions, galleries, and museums remain open late, encouraging community engagement and participation in the arts.
