NuitBlanche(Sponsored by Scotiabank and the City of Toronto) is a rare free city-wide event where more than 100 Toronto museums, galleries and institutions are gonna have their doors open ALL NIGHT LONG (cue the Lionel Ritchie) to present contemporary art installations and programs.

So what's DPC gotta do with this? Dub Poet Lillian Allen will be one of the writers participating in Bedtime Tales: Fables and Fantasies, a night of live readings and recordings at the Toronto Helconian Club (35 Hazelton Ave). We'll give you a heads up soon with the specific time that Lillian will be on.

On Friday, October 13th, there will be a Dub Poetry Collective Showcase, featuring Afua Cooper, and some other DPC members at the Trane Studio (964 Bathurst St.). Details will be posted as soon as we get them.
