Nuit Blanche is now universally translated as Sleepless Night.
Nuit Blanche brings more than a million people to the streets of Toronto every year.
From sunset to sunrise, spaces throughout the city are transformed into temporary exhibitions.
Museums, galleries, and artist run centers open their doors and offer free access to contemporary art.
I personally had the opportunity to attend this year’s Nuit Blanche in Toronto.
Here are my photos ofGlobal Rainbow, taken from different vantage points throughout the city.
If you’re in Toronto and haven’t seen it, you still have time.
The installation will be running until October 13.
