Our Vision

Toronto Arts Foundation is powered by a vision: Creative City: Block by Block, a commitment to connect every Toronto neighbourhood to the transformative power of artistic activity. Toronto Arts Foundation does this in a variety of ways, including: connecting community engaged artists through its Neighbourhood Arts Network; developing a brand new Arts Hub in North York (North York Arts); working in partnership with two major universities to research the impact of the arts in at-risk communities in Toronto; as well as celebrating Toronto’s incredible artists as part of the Toronto Arts Foundation Awards Portfolio.This brochure tells Toronto Arts Foundation’s story through its artists and champions, showcasing some of its most exciting initiatives and celebrating the key stakeholders that help Toronto Arts Foundation build a better Toronto, one creative block at a time.

Toronto Arts Foundation (TAF) is committed to celebrating Toronto’s artists as they build and create the cultural history of our great city. Through TAF’s awards portfolio, we have celebrated some of Toronto’s most exciting emerging and iconic artists; individuals whose artistic achievements have played an integral role in helping Toronto become the vibrant, creative city that it is.

Toronto Arts Foundation (TAF) is committed to celebrating Toronto’s artists and their remarkable achievements at home and abroad, and the celebration doesn’t end at the Mayor's Arts Awards Lunch. Help TAF continue the celebration year-round, by contributing to the Foundation’s Celebration Fund, designed to promote Toronto artists locally, throughout Canada and internationally.

Our donors—large organizations and dedicated individuals—make the Foundation work. Their contributions help make Toronto one of the world’s most vibrant and creative cities. Meet a few of our generous supporters and learn why they give to the arts in Toronto.

Toronto Arts Foundation would like to thank all of its friends and partners for their support, as we work to build a stronger city through the arts.
