This coming Saturday, October 2nd, from sunset to sunrise, we invite you to join Toronto’s transformation into a celebration of contemporary art.
At the Kapisanan Philippine Centre for Arts and Culture, however, this year’s Nuit Blanche just got browner. In conjunction with Les Rues des Refuses (the renegade guide for off-program Nuit Blanche events), we invite you to experience NUIT BRUNE, an open mic/poetry jam fundraiser like no other you’ve seen or heard.
This year’s main event will feature talented spoken word artists and poets who grew out of this year’s Poetry is our Second Language (PSL) Season 3.
After four weeks of intense learning, writing and performing, the poets are ready to roll out their works in an epic, final poetry performance. The best part? A portion of the event proceeds will go to charity. Making a difference never sounded so sick!
PSL starts August 4th!
