To our sponsors, donors, and guests,

Thank you for joining us at the 2025 Mayor’s Evening for the Arts and (In) Bloom Gala. Because of your generosity and your belief in the power of creativity, we raised $1,056,199 to protect and grow the arts in Toronto. Your support ensures that we can continue (and grow!) our mentorship initiatives, Arts in the Parks, and other valuable community programming. We are deeply grateful.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the remarkable artists, speakers, and hosts who made the evening so special:
