IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! This Nuit Blanche, join The THROBBING ROSE Collective as they embark on a remarkable artistic journey lasting an entire 24 hours!

The 24 Hour Artathon is a collaborative and continuous art-making performance offering the public a unique opportunity to witness the creative process of artists who typically work behind closed doors. Additionally, this event provides a special chance for art enthusiasts to acquire never-before-seen artworks at affordable prices, with the proceeds going to support The NUIT ROSE Festival and QUEER UP NORTH Artist Residency.

QUEER UP NORTH artist residency is a new initiative and collaboration between The Throbbing Rose Collective and the White Bear Artist Residency in Temagami, Ontario.

To be held in the Northland Paradise Lodge, on the shore of Snake Island Lake in Temagami, Queer Up North offers fifteen LGBTQI2+ artists-in-residence the opportunity to work, interact and collaborate in the forests and lakes of northern Ontario. The residency will take place August 15 - 30, 2024. The application deadline is June 1, 2024, and results will be announced on June 15th.

The Throbbing Rose Collective is current seeking new members! After a hiatus during the pandemic, The Throbbing Rose Collective which produced Nuit Rose for five consecutive years, is back with new programming and a new mission to create regular queer arts programming and opportunities for queer artists to develop their practice.
