Around the theme Make a wish!, the 6th edition of Nuit Blanche
sur Tableau Noir expands its horizons even further. Nearly 300 000
spectators come to see art and creation unfold during these four magnificent,
sunny days. |

With record attendance from the public as well as the artists, Nuit
Blanche sur Tableau Noir strengthens its position on Quebec's cultural
scene. The heart of the event, La Grande Fresque de nuit (street
painting by starlight), beats to the rhythm of paintbrushes masterfully
handled by some 54 participating artists, among whom two are of international
fame (Jean Côté and André Pijet). Nearly 15 000
spectators attend this colorful event under the stars where, more than
ever, the complicity uniting artists and audience is truly palpable
and concrete. .

For a second consecutive year, artists from Concordia University embellished
shop windows of Mont-Royal Avenue businesses. A window on the next generation.
And yet another, younger generation used its artistic talents to brighten
up the Avenue, as the event Kids' Dreams on Blackboard took on larger
proportions during the 2001 edition. All in all, an edition truly marked
by increased visibility and growing popularity.
