Featuring balloon maestro Sean Rooney at the Drake Hotel, a custom balloon sculpture will be created on the facade of the hotel – much like his Nuit Blanche sculpture in 2011.

Marlon Griffith, the Drake’s WorldPride artist-in-residence, will engage the Nuit Rose community in the “Powder Box” Project – decorating visitor’s necks with intricate stencils of imitation luxury brand logos using talcum powder, as a critique on the divide between the classes.

The Drake Hotel is a cultural, entertainment and hospitality landmark in Toronto. Ever since we opened our doors on Valentine’s Day 2004, Drake has come to be known as an energetic hub for visual + performance art as well as dining and hospitality. We’re known for providing one of Canada’s most unique and sought after hotel and culinary experiences. As you can tell, we’re clearly more than a place to eat and sleep: we are a Hotbed for Culture.
