Nuit Connects

Established in 2019, Nuit Connects is a relationship-building and knowledge-sharing program. It is inspired by the solid and impassioned commitment to community, mentorship and reciprocity demonstrated by Scarborough participants in the inaugural Nuit Blanche in Scarborough in 2018. The program is designed for early to mid-career Scarborough-based artists and collectives who have previously participated in Nuit Blanche Toronto.

At the core of this program is reciprocity and relationship-building: while artists benefit from various mentorship and educational offerings, the City of Toronto, Doris McCarthy Gallery and their communities also gain insights from the artist or artists. This program focuses on supporting the artist’s overall practice, professional development and expanding their creative network.

Past Artists

Past artists supported by Nuit Connects were Esmond Lee and Yaw Tony in 2025, Noor Khan in 2023, Whyishnave Suthagar in 2022, Mark Stoddart in 2020 and R.I.S.E. in 2019.
