Auckland Arts Festival White Night is coming! Saturday 12th March....

Saturday 12 March, 2016, 6pm to midnight

Auckland Arts Festivals one-night arts extravaganza White Night is back!

All across town, inside and outside at over 100 venues and locations, artists, performers, musicians and makers of all description invite you to inspect, experience, watch, see, make and touch all sorts of wonderful creations. On White Night, galleries, squares, laneways and promenades, Auckland wide are free to explore at night.

Background

White Night is a city-wide night of the arts which originated in Europe and has spread to cities around the globe, , including Cairo, Berlin, Barcelona, Melbourne, to name but a few. The name ‘White Night’ derives from the Parisian event nuit blanche (literally, night white; figuratively, a sleepless night, referring to the fact some venues in the international versions of this event stay open all night!)

White Night was held in New Zealand for the first time in 2011 as part of the Auckland Arts Festival, then again in 2013 and 2015. They received overwhelming feedback from participants and audience, who said the event was “Ah-maaaazing!” and “made you fall in love with your city again”.

 My work will be included in Greenwoods Corner, my childhood neighbourhood! I've been working on a few pieces, including this one.
