About
This Nuit Blanche, drop into Graffiti Art Programming at 109 Higgins Ave. between 7:00-9:30pm, to experience the high-adrenaline thrill of a contemporary street-artist. In conjunction with the legendary New York graffiti artist Wane One’s exhibition, No This Without That, learn how to create your own unique symbol, that will be installed as part of a collaborative art exhibition referencing a subway station. Create your symbols using colourful paint markers on translucent vellum paper, and wheat paste them onto wooden placards that will be exhibited alongside, and for the duration of, Wane One’s exhibition.
