Canada is Present

If you have been following us for the past few years, you know that TOAF has become a national showcase, proudly representing artists from every corner of Canada.

This was a silver lining that came from the challenges of the past few years and led to an exciting online platform which has grown in impact, reach, and importance in ways we didn’t imagine possible. This year, over 60 artists will be Exclusively Online. To cherish and celebrate them, we have extended our Awards with a dear and special new addition – The Jini Stolk Best of Online Art Fair – $2,000 cash.

The late Jini Stolk absolutely loved and championed TOAF’s innovation and transition to online. We are honoured to keep her memory and legacy alive through this award and continue celebrating what she deeply cared about – art, artists and an art-filled life! Our heartfelt thanks to our incredibly generous donors who wish to remain anonymous.

We have also established a new Travel Bursary program to respond to the growing demand of out-of-province artists and support the ones who will join us at Nathan Phillips Square from Nova Scotia, Vancouver, and all the way to the Northwest Territories. Very exciting!

Enjoy browsing through TOAF’s National, International, and Francophone Spotlights and more. We hope you love this expansion and all these new opportunities as much as we do.

PS. We very much welcome your support of our brand new Travel Bursary program.
