TOgether Through Art draws attention to the ways in which arts organizations in our city bring people together, build understanding across cultures, create good neighbours, and celebrate the rich diversity of Toronto’s communities as our strength. 

Bringing together an array of local arts organizations that provide cultural activities that support connection and exchange, TOgether Through Art aims to get more Torontonians involved in the arts where they live, to encourage social connection, foster understanding of different perspectives, and support the well-being of individuals and communities. .

“The arts help us see each other. Through artistic and cultural expression, we share in each other’s perspectives and ways of life and we build common bonds and understanding with people from all backgrounds. The TOgether Through Art campaign is about building this empathy and fighting against divisiveness. Toronto’s arts and culture organizations are stepping up to give a message of unity and I support them wholeheartedly.” ―Mayor Olivia Chow

“Arts events, festivals, shows, and workshops offer creative and welcoming places for people to gather. At a time when life feels increasingly lonely, Torontonians can tap into the rich cultural offerings of its many creative hubs to find community and human connection. Together Through Art invites everyone in Toronto to experience the transformative power of creativity in their lives.” ―Kelly Langgard, CEO, Toronto Arts Council & Foundation
