Nuit Blanche is an all-night celebration of contemporary art in Winnipeg that is part of Culture Days, which ran Friday through Sunday across Manitoba.

Nuit Blanche took place on Saturday from dusk until dawn and was focused in downtown, St. Boniface and the Exchange District. It originated in 2010 and is based on a similar celebration that started in France in 1984.

Some of the highlights of Nuit Blanche included Red, Green and Blue, a sculptural installation by Vancouver artist Khan Lee that was located at a parking lot at Bannatyne Avenue and Rorie Street; a walking tour of Back Alley Arctic, Wolseley-area garage-door murals by painter Kal Barteski that were inspired by her trips to Churchill; street-side installations from the Insurgence/Resurgence exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, which also hosted non-stop music by local DJs; and a night market at La Maison des Artistes that featured artists and crafters selling goods in illuminated tents.
