Many artists had been forced to cancel and postpone event based presentations, exhibitions, and other activities essential to their professional practices as a result of COVID-19. Many have had to pivot or shift their approach as a result. In partnership with North York Arts, Neighbourhood Arts Network launched a digital Mentor in Residence program to support artists in the reimagining of their work.
