Our Programs
At the Toronto Arts Foundation, we believe that a great city demands great art, and by supporting, celebrating, financing and advocating for Toronto’s local artists, we’re improving the quality of life of all Torontonians.
Individuals, private and public foundations, and corporate donors, through the Foundation, champion all the various disciplines of art, from independent visual artists to theatre companies, choirs and film festivals, which enhance and enliven our city.
