The Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art has created on online archive devoted exclusively to documenation of Nuit Blanche. I’ve had a quick browse and it looks like they have photos and artist info, as well as videos, for most of the work presented that evening – pretty complete stuff. To check it out, click here.
In case you feel a rush of warm nostalgia for the eve, and anticipation for the next, be aware that we don’t even know if there will be a Nuit Blanche ’07 until March – that’s when City Council votes on the year’s budget. So if you want to see it again, tell your councillor, or ask your local candidate which way they will swing on the issue. For the record, the city says the event cost $1.4 million in cash and in-kind expenses, served 450,000 viewers, and generated $1 million for local businesses.
