One night a year for the past decade, Scotiabank Nuit Blanche has transformed Toronto into a colossal celebration of art, illuminating the city’s incredible talent and imagination for all to enjoy.

With so many amazing installations and locations to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start your Nuit Blanche adventure. Fortunately, �鶹ֱ��app students, faculty and staff don’t have to go far to immerse themselves in the Nuit Blanche experience as the university welcomes the city to a number of on-site installations.

Here’s a round-up of five Nuit Blanche installations to see on the downtown campus:

CEIExSKAM  

Street Art Installation 
55 St. George St.

See a unique collaboration between �鶹ֱ��app and Jason Wing (a.k.a. SKAM), one of Canada’s best-known graffiti artists. This installation brings to life the spirit of the new Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CEIE), the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering and the engineering profession.

Stretching along the east side of St. George Street north of College Street, the project is the longest single graffiti installation in the City of Toronto and highlights some of the connections between the university and the city.

During Nuit Blanche, the exhibit will also feature a video about the creation of the mural. Student ambassadors will be on site to answer questions about the mural, the field of engineering and the CEIE. Follow along with the hashtags #CEIExSKAM and #uoftengineering.

CEIExSKAM is a sponsored exhibit by the University of Toronto. For more details visit

Investigate the body’s capacity to carry memories with this dance work by Marlowe Porter.

Performance Art 
Hart House, the Great Hall, 7 Hart House Circle

Ever wonder what a flute carved 35,000 years ago from the wing bone of a griffon vulture sounds like? Wonder no more. Artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla invited a flutist to play such an instrument in the presence of a live endangered griffin vulture. They captured the results on a film to be played in the Great Hall at Hart House.

Light installation 
University College Quadrangle, 15 King's College Circle, entrance off Tower Road.)

Reflect on the power of love and light with this text-art installation inspired by the Temptations’ 1964 hit, “My Girl.” The artist investigates the ways that love opens our hearts and how memories of love evolve over time as well as the ways in which our memories can be affected by mental health conditions.
