Program: 06.10.2017, schedule 19.00 – 03.00
The White Night of the Art Galleries was the first night cultural event in Romania after the
White Night of the Museums, and the first event in the country to raise the attention of the
general public regarding contemporary art and young artists, proposing a complex and
dynamic programme to feature all types of art – painting, drawing, sculpture, graphics or new
media, photography, video, performance, music, dance, theatre, design, etc. The art map of
Bucharest generated each year by the White Night of the Art Galleries has made visible the
dynamic infrastructure of contemporary art venues in the city. Throughout the ten editions
held until now, the White Night of the Art Galleries established a platform to promote
contemporary art and young Romanian artists by encouraging the contact between artists and
galleries or other contemporary art spaces, and by introducing the artists to an extended
audience that has the opportunity to discover each year the art of its own generation. Since
2016 The White Night of the Art Galleries takes place in Timișoara alongside other ten cities:
București, Arad, Baia Mare, Brașov, Cluj Napoca, Craiova, Iași, Sibiu și Târgu Mureș.
