On the night of June 17th, Nuit Rose occupies the 519 and Barbara Hall Park, 562 Church Street, akasha art projects, the Black Eagle, Glad Day Bookshop, the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives, John B. Aird Gallery, Daniels Spectrum, the new Ignite Gallery /OCAD U Augusta Ave, the Gladstone Hotel and many other Toronto venues. Come out to see art in Toronto and across the universe!
