Previous U of O students open up a new gallery on Elgin Street in Ottawa.
nuit blanche
The event is an annual all-night arts exhibit open to the public that displays art installations, performances, and other artistic events like stick ‘n’ poke tattooing. While the movement has been held in cities around the world for more than a decade, this is only the second time it’s been to Ottawa.
The exhibit features the art of six Canadian artists and, according to the gallery’s website, “explores the notion of how an individual artist’s identity is defined by the geography and climate of the landscape.”
A vibrant night of art descended upon the city Sept. 22 between 6:22 p.m. and 4:23 a.m. for Ottawa’s first ever Nuit Blanche.
