Nuit Blanche Winnipeg is a free evening exploration and celebration of contemporary art that takes place during Culture Days Manitoba. This year Nuit Blanche Winnipeg will take place:

September 26th, 2026 from 6pm–Midnight.

Installations for our funded Illuminate the Night program will be produced in outdoor spaces in Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. Produced by Culture Days Manitoba in partnership with the Winnipeg Arts Council, open call project locations will allow audiences to walk, roll, or bike in between the selected projects and encourage pedestrian culture.

We invite artists and collectives to propose an exciting and engaging interpretation of the theme below, using (if possible) public interaction, spectacle, light and illumination. An artist honorarium of $2,500 will be provided to each selected project in 2026. Applications to Illuminate the Night will open this April.
