Support the Creative Community

Given the recent business updates to Artscape, Toronto Artscape Foundation is mobilizing efforts to continue Artscape live-work and community spaces, and remain committed to serving our artist and creative community. We have a small priority team on the ground to continue work without disruption and we need all the help we can get to keep this work going.

Artscape makes space for creativity and transforms communities

We believe that there is a symbiotic relationship between thriving artists and thriving communities. The core of our work focuses on developing real estate projects, programs and services to empower artists and connect them to communities.

As a not-for-profit organization based in Toronto, we collaborate with artists, community leaders, public policy advocates, philanthropists and urban developers, so that our work builds value for everybody.

In 2006, we coined the term “creative placemaking” to describe what we do. Today, there is a global community of practice involved in creative placemaking that seeks to leverage the power of arts and culture as a catalyst for cultural, community and urban development.

More About Us

BUILDING THRIVING COMMUNITIES

Our projects, which include a portfolio of community cultural hubs and artist live/work studios across Toronto cluster creative people together in facilities that are designed to generate positive cultural, social, economic and environmental benefits for the entire community.

PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR ARTISTS

While interest in art and demand for creative content are greater than ever, an affordability crisis, digital disruption and precarious work are making it harder for artists to make a living and remain in Toronto. Artscape is committed to providing a broad range of spaces, programs, resources and opportunities to help artists thrive.
