Creative Play for All!
Art Collecting, Block Building and Miniature Gardening
Dear TOAF Community,
TOAF64 is full of ways to play, build, imagine, and grow, no matter your age.
A host of exceptional partners are joining us to deliver joyful, fun, and thoughtful interactive programs.
Museum of Toronto invites you to design the city of your dreams, one wooden block at a time, while the Power Kids workshops by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery spark imagination around green landscapes for your dream city.
There’s nothing more joyful than young art lovers getting their hands on their very first work of art through our beloved and adorable Budding Art Buyersprogram. The Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC) joins us to make sure they start their collecting journey with best practices, collecting like pros from the very beginning! We just love that!
And don’t miss the Curated Collection: Sweet and Salty by Marianne Katzman, and a behind-the-scenes Studio Tour with Adriele Au, all available to enjoy from wherever you are.
We’re almost there — July 11–13 is just around the corner!
Until then,
TOAF Team
