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.
Where We Are
We operate programs and a portfolio of community cultural hubs, live/work studios, galleries and other facilities all over Toronto.
“Art, culture and creativity have the power to help build vibrant, resilient and inclusive neighbourhoods and cities.” — Tim Jones, Former CEO, Artscape
