NUIT BLANCHE 24 HOUR ARTATHON

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.

This year's roster of participating Artists includes:

Erin McCluskey, Mimmo Baronello, Andy Fabo, P. Elaine Sharpe, Christian Singer, Cai Sepulis, Francisco Alvarez, Ximena Montecino, John Rubino, MW Thompson, Schem Bader Rogerson, Rose Cullis, Stephanie Camille, Pearl Van Geest, and James Fowler.

Starting from Saturday, October 5th at 12pm and continuing until Sunday, October 6th at 12pm, artists will create a new piece of art every hour, on the hour. These artworks, each measuring 10X10 inches, will be available for immediate purchase in person and online, as part of a live broadcast of the event. Subsequently, the remaining artworks by the artists will be accessible online.

During Nuit Blanche, we encourage you to visit the lower level of the 401 Richmond Building at 401 Richmond Street West. Here, you can witness these talented artists in action, gain insight into their creative process, and have the opportunity to acquire an original piece of art at an affordable price, never before seen by the public.

For those unable to attend in person, we will be showcasing newly posted artworks on our Instagram page during the event. To claim a piece, simply comment "MINE!" The first person to claim a work will have the chance to acquire it, and each artwork is priced at $100. Keep a close eye on the Instagram page for your chance to own a unique piece of art created during this extraordinary 24-hour event.
