February’s deep freeze is letting up a bit, just in time for the annual Nuit Blanche à Montréal extravaganza. For the 2015 edition the Belgo building is hosting several events such as drawing performances, interactive video screenings, a beatnick-inspired evening of art slams, and live music. Even galleries not on the official programs tend to stay open late, so plan at least an hour to 90 minutes for your Belgo visit. We’re expecting the usual onslaught of night crawlers – over the last few years the Belgo received between 5,000 and 8,000 visitors during each Nuit Blanche event. All this to say – I hope you enjoy crowds.
Here is a list of galleries and spaces which have officially advertised events:
