The lineup is growing!

The Mayor’s Evening for the Arts + (In) Bloom Gala on November 25 brings together an exciting mix of artists and performers in support of Toronto Arts Foundation and its work to help artists thrive and make the arts accessible to everyone.

Joining the previously announced OBGMs are:

Amanda Cordner — award-nominated performer bringing their talent to host the gala

Orbital Ensemble — a vibrant fusion of Brazilian rhythms, psychedelic sounds, and jazz

Zoon — the musical project of Polaris Prize–shortlisted artist Daniel Monkman

Leila Refahi and Roda Medhat — multidisciplinary artists bringing compelling visual art to the event

Blossom and Press — beautiful, handcrafted floral art

Plus, live art by Telisa Roessein at the VIP reception and after-party, and Natasha Dichpan and Tehreem at (In) Bloom.

New this year is the Paradise Pour Station: a satellite bar featuring wines generously donated by Wine Sponsor Paradise Grapevine. Beers will be provided by Beer Sponsor Bandit Brewery. Special cocktails and mixed drinks will be curated by Liquor Sponsor Spirits Canada, while interactive displays and decor are provided by Decor Sponsor Prevail Activations.

This year’s theme is ART IS HUMAN NATURE. We encourage you to dress creatively and show out!
