The city's biggest open-air celebration of art is getting ready to mark its 15th spin 'round the sun this fall: Nocturne announced yesterday that, COVID willing, its 2022 festival will be slated for October 13-15. The event—which went into a multi-night format during the pandemic to accommodate safer crowd sizes—is also on the lookout for a new curator. The annual opportunity sees a selected artist or art collective establish a theme for the festival, alongside curating five to seven cornerstone projects at the event.

Past Nocturne curators have included artists such as multidisciplinary powerhouses Liliona Quarmyne and Lindsay Dobbin.
