For the fourth year in a row, Heineken Canada was one of the
sponsors of art event "Nuit Blanche" on October 3 in Toronto.
Around one million people explored the city from dusk till
dawn, enjoying more than 130 art installations created by
some 550 local and international artists. Venues ranged from
art galleries to car parks and bus shelters.
Heineken sponsored 36 provocative and interactive urban
art installations in the southwestern part of the city. Other
Heineken activities included the ln-bar Virtual Graffiti
Experience", where people were able to create their own
art images on a virtual graffiti wall in a bar. Heineken also
organized a behind-the-scenes tour guided by artists and
cultural insiders.
