We believe that a great city demands great art. By supporting, celebrating, financing, and advocating for Toronto’s artists, we can improve the quality of life for all Torontonians.

Our funds are raised through donations, sponsorships, and grants. We create innovative programs that support all artists: from world-renowned painters to young singers at the Regent Park School of Music, and from contemporary galleries and performing arts companies to the arts festivals that enrich our city and our lives.
