Toronto Arts Foundation, in partnership with Art Starts, launches the Neighbourhood Arts Network, Toronto’s first network dedicated to supporting art-making in neighbourhoods throughout the city.
In consultation with over 120 community leaders and artists, Toronto Arts Foundation conceived and developed the Neighbourhood Arts Network as part of its Creative City: Block by Block Program to serve as a catalyst in neighbourhood transformation by supporting and fostering more creative collaboration between artists, community organizations and local residents.
“From street safety to reclaiming parks for community use to engaging disaffected teens, artists bring fresh, creative energy into Toronto’s neighbourhoods. We are working to help Toronto become a more creative and more liveable city and we believe community-engaged arts programs will play a major role in neighbourhood transformation city-wide,” stated Claire Hopkinson, Executive Director of Toronto Arts Foundation.
