Nuit Blanche sur Tableau Noir

The 16th edition of Nuit Blanche sur Tableau Noir is taking over the Plateau this weekend, with some 50 different artistic activities on the program, including overnight street-painting event La Grande Fresque de Nuit, knitting sessions at Halte Angora, and shows at Place Gérald-Godin (Kabakuwo, Cool Roots, etc.) and Parc des Compagnons-de-Saint-Laurent (Katie Moore, Chantal Archambault, etc.). Also not to be missed is Point de rencontre, a wandering project from Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Giorgia Volpe which involves weaving a carpet out of recycled plastic bags. Everyone is invited to join her in her endeavour. June 9-12, on Mont-Royal Avenue (between St-Laurent and d’Iberville). www.tableaunoir.com
