For Toronto’s suburbs, the 60s was a decade of unprecedented growth, change and possibility–and nowhere was this more evident than in the rapidly transforming North York. What not long before had been a mostly agricultural region dotted by small villages, North York had quickly evolved into the fourth-largest and fastest-growing municipality in the country. The young borough had big plans for its future–including a new vibrant downtown that would be a source of pride for its residents and a showcase of the ambitions and dreams of this burgeoning city.

October 4 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Join in a free all-night celebration of contemporary art that transforms Toronto’s public spaces into unexpected landscapes and animates cultural sites throughout the city. Featuring three exhibitions located in North York, Etobicoke and downtown and more than 85 works by local, national and international artists, the city becomes a living book created not just with words, but through sights, sounds, movements and shared spaces.

Dive deeper into the ideas and creative processes behind the works through a series of talks and workshops – offered before and after October 4.

This year’s theme, Translating the City, invites you to consider how art can translate the complexities of cities and the role we all play within them. Why not reimagine the possibilities a city can hold?
