The story
Noche en Blanco San Jose in San José
Noche en Blanco is the flagship annual edition of San Jose's Art City Tour, adapted from Paris's Nuit Blanche concept and introduced to Costa Rica in 2010 by the French Alliance and GAM Cultural, expanding the usual free museum-and-gallery circuit into roughly twenty venues, three parallel circuits and more than sixty activities in a single November night.
Noche en Blanco began in Paris in 2002 as Nuit Blanche and gradually spread to major cities worldwide before the French Alliance and GAM Cultural introduced the concept to Costa Rica in 2010, adapting it into an expanded, larger-scale edition of the country's own Art City Tour rather than an unrelated import.
