Tickets for London’s first ever Art Night have gone on sale today, giving Londoners the opportunity to see the city become a canvas for contemporary art for one night only.

On July 2, the Strand and its surrounding areas will become host to art installations and performances from dusk until dawn. The event follows on from the ‘White Night’ tradition that began with Paris’s Nuit Blanche, when everyday spaces in the city are transformed into works of art.

All tickets to the events are free, and can be booked through the Institute of Contemporary Art, who are curating the event.

Highlights will include a disused Jubilee line platform at Charing Cross being filled with perfume, a jazz pianist in Southwark Cathedral, and a piece of performance art in a luxury flat on The Strand.

The artists showcasing their work hail from across the globe, with an international spectrum that includes Shanghai, France and Switzerland.

Gregor Muir, the ICA’s director, commented that Art Night would be “much more art focused” than the original from Paris.

He added that it would provide its audience with a chance to experience the area “in terms of its recent history”.

Tickets for Art Night can be booked at ica.org.uk.
