As the city filed it

Nuit Blanche is a magnificent event that shines a spotlight on the City of Toronto's arts sector. Since 2006, the event featured more than 1,600 art installations and has generated more than $443 million for the City of Toronto. The Nuit Blanche exhibitions are primarily held in the City's downtown core. However, the inner suburbs of Toronto such as North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke all have an array of suitable and iconic locations to showcase artistic installations, and are highly accessible via the Toronto Transit Commission.
