The History

Created in 1996, Nuit Blanche sur Tableau Noir aims to promote visual arts by presenting participative, popular and free activities for the general public. In order to achieve this goal, the artists monopolize Mont-Royal Avenue to express their art before the public’s eyes. Every year, there are approximately one hundred participants. Everything is free of charge and presented outdoors on Mont-Royal Avenue, therefore allowing everyone to discover visual arts. The notorious artistic richness of the Plateau is taken one step higher thanks to this colourful festival.

In less than 8 years, the event has succeeded in becoming an important part of Montreal’s festivals. It now welcomes over 300 000 spectators over a four day period. So, from June 12th to June 15th, get your paintbrushes out and get ready to Reinvent the wheel !
