ART MONTH @ STACKT

STACKT market is treating October like a residency. ART MONTH packs the shipping-container village at 28 Bathurst with installations, performances, workshops, and two headline moments that matter for the city’s fall arts calendar.

MULTIfest — Oct 1–8

This year’s “Ripple Effect” theme brings 10+ interactive installations, 15+ audiovisual performances, hands-on workshops, and speakers from across Toronto. Hours run roughly 5–11pm with free entry — easy to drop into after work or before a King West dinner.

Nuit Blanche @ STACKT — Oct 3

For one night the grounds stay open until 7am. Featured installations include *Magnetic Mother* (Micki-Lee Smith, Zakriya Bashir-Hill & Pratap Mathews), *Remember | Imagine* (Hajar Moradi), and *Between Mercy and Ruin* (Mais Al-Sheikhly), plus the ScoopDale Mystery Machine pop-up and Postcode Lottery’s Mini Ontario with photo moments and giveaways.

Practical

• Where: STACKT market, 28 Bathurst St

If you’re building a Nuit Blanche route west of downtown, STACKT is a natural anchor — containers, installations, and enough space to breathe.
