There are hundreds of activities on offer this Saturday for Nuit Blanche à Montréal 2011. How to choose? Well, first of all you should make sure to drop by the Belgo (a great one-stop-shop for a dozen events, and it’s warm!). And if you are in the mood to participate in an activity rather than just watching somebody else, here’s my list of Nuit Blanche events in the Belgo where you’re invited to mix it up:

DANCE!
Studio 303
Space 303
POP – Welcome to Anne Thériault’s POP atmosphere – an immersive nocturnal happening where five semi-interactive and fully mesmerizing capsules are looped all night long. Dance to live music and gorgeous lighting effects. Featuring Dave St-Pierre, Frédérick Gravel, Dana Michel, Anne Thériault, and Simon-Xavier Lefebvre.
10 p.m. – 3 a.m.

PRINT!
Galerie Maison Kasini
Space 408
Papirmasse-a-thon – A magazine, an artwork, a social experiment whose goal is to make art affordable: Papirmasse is all this and more. Our “Papirmasse-a-thon” pushes the boundaries of our slogan “Art is Cheap! Art is for Everyone!” by producing a digital print every hour of the evening and circulating it among those in attendance.
7 p.m.- 3 a.m.

THINK!
Galerie d’art contemporain Visual Voice
Space 421
Creative Lounge – During this Nuit blanche, Visual Voice Gallery transforms itself into an “idea incubator” where artists and the general public can swap ideas, mingle, brainstorm and connect. Work out your ideas on the gallery’s walls and tables covered in chalkboard paint, participate in a Twitter Party, share your sketches on social media channels and connect with creative Montrealers.
8 p.m. – 2:30 a.m.

PAINT!
Galerie Trois Points
Space 520
Crazy Painting with Mathieu Lévesque – Mathieu Lévesque invites visitors to collaborate in a “painting orgy,” through which they are encouraged to create their own artworks with his distinctive stickers and various painting “recipes.” Participants can then head home with their own works of art, created in the Lévesque style!
8 p.m. – 3 a.m.

SMILE!
Les Territoires
Space 527
Flash – Visitors can have their picture taken by artists, transforming the gallery into a gigantic photo studio for the night. Participants will take home their portrait and take part in creating a collage on the walls of the gallery. This collage will bear witness to the night, forming a sort of All Nighters’ portrait.
8 p.m. – 3 a.m.
