Ottawa will see its first Nuit Blanche festival next fall, according to independent arts group BRAVO-Est’s website.
Nuit Blanche is a one-day festival of art held in cities across the world, but has never been held in Ottawa.
This celebration of art is coming to Ottawa on Sept. 22, 2012 thanks to BRAVO-Est.
According to the organization’s website, it was given a grant of $60,000 over two years from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, which will go towards the festival.
BRAVO-Est says it is searching for members and stakeholders in the Ottawa arts community who would like to participate in the event.
