“Knowing the importance of access to the arts, I’m proud of the work Toronto Arts Foundation is doing to deliver the arts to communities across our great city.” – Mayor John Tory

Proceeds from The Mayor’s Evening for the Arts support the Foundation's free public art initiative, Arts in the Parks as well as our other Creative City initiatives, developed as a direct response to issues confronting Toronto’s artists and the desire to increase arts access across the city.

For information on sponsorships, table and ticket purchases, please contact Leslie Francombe, Senior Manager, Philanthropy. 

With the generous donations of our patrons and encouragement provided by the Mayor, we're playing our part in supporting, nourishing and celebrating the arts in Toronto. Thank you to our sponsors, table and ticket buyers who made the 2022 The Mayor’s Evening for the Arts a resounding success!

We look forward to seeing everyone in person at the 2023 Mayor's Evening for the Arts.
