Programs

We offer community arts programming in six Toronto neighbourhoods for all ages. Our programs bring together artists and community members to reflect the identities and aspirations of each community.

Special Projects

We offer Special Projects such as arts initiatives, events, and workshops that occur city-wide. These projects encourage connection and collaboration among artists and those interested in the arts.

Mentorship

We foster emerging, youth and/or newcomer artists to help them further their own practices and advance their artistic careers. Our mentorship hub connects them with employment opportunities, grants, and more.

Support Us

You can help us continue to build vibrant communities through arts initiatives. There are many ways you can show your support: make a donation, give a gift in kind, or fundraise by running your own event or campaign.

🎨 March Break may be behind us, but the participants from our Print Masters program will have tons of memories to frame and even wear! Artist Janet Hinkle led our participants ages 7-12 at our very own Art Starts studio through this hands-on program. Participants learned and applied various printing techniques such as marble prints, creating and using their own stencils and more. Take a look at photos of the artwork and the young artists at work.
