About us

Our vision, Creative City: Block by Block is to connect every Toronto neighbourhood with the transformative social and economic benefits of the arts. Toronto Arts Foundation, a charitable organization since 1995, provides the opportunity for individuals, private and public foundations, corporations and government agencies to invest in and strengthen the arts in Toronto. The fact is the arts are business – big business. The creative industry's contribution to Ontario's GDP is greater than that of the energy industry, and the agriculture, forestry and mining sectors combined. Arts and culture contribute $11.3 billion annually to Toronto's GDP. Over 174,000 Torontonians work in the culture sector and 600,000 people in the country belong to the sector. Canadians spend more than twice as much on live performances in the performing arts than on sports events. Through sponsorships, legacy gifts and donations, we give voice to the arts, shine the spotlight on Toronto's exceptional talent and connect communities to the arts. Please donate to help us grow a city of art.
