“Our 1,000 members consist of some of the most dynamic community engaged artists and arts organizations in toronto, all committed to building a stronger, more creative city. through our professional development events, tool kits, and awards, we are bridging the arts gap throughout the city, and helping communities become more engaged through the arts.

2014 is going to be an exciting year for the neighbourhood arts network.

We’d love to have your support.”

“So many artists live in the east end of Toronto, and for the past two years, hundreds of locals have worked towards getting east end Arts off the ground. There is tremendous community excitement about what the organization will do to nurture east Toronto’s arts scene in the years to come. It’s a great time to join us and support our work!”

From Cultura at Mel Lastman Square, to Leaside 100, to animating our new home at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, North York Arts is turning up the spotlight on North York’s artists, and cultural community.

2014 is going to be a special year for North York Arts.

Come and visit North York and see for yourself.”
