Happy holidays from TOAF!

Happy Holidays!
Wishing you a warm and joyful season

We are ending 2021 on a very high note. This year, we celebrated our 60th Anniversary in style (digitally and in-person) with special feature exhibitions and programming that paid homage to our past, present, and looked forward to a bright future. There has been a wonderful response to TOAF60 from all across the country and beyond, including from the media and our community at large. The impact numbers that we have captured for you here tell only half of the story.

You have extended your support in countless ways. You’ve connected with artists, visited the Fair at stackt market and on TOAF.cabought artworks, participated in our programming, donated to the Gifts of Heart campaign and to TOAF, helped spread the word and sent us notes of encouragement.

We are deeply grateful for your attention and generosity. It is because of you that we end this year with a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. It is with great pride that we continue the legacy of TOAF with unwavering commitment from all of our supporters, audiences, public funders, fellow arts organizations, and the community of artists.

You still can nominate a frontline worker to receive a gift of art (a $250 gift card). We have 30 gift cards to give away to our deserving heroes, thanks to our very generous donors. Join forces with us to spread the love, especially now as we continue to be engulfed by the looming new wave of you know what! 

Now, we leave you with a dreamy holiday art collection that Lauren Wilson from Timberlost has lovingly put together. We hope it inspires you to bring some of this magic into your homes and to continue to support our artists

Wishing you a soulful and joyous holiday season!

Holiday Curated Collection

This special collection is handpicked by Lauren Wilson of Timberlost to honour craftsmen and their timeless work. In an ever evolving world, now is the time to support the talented makers.

Lauren is a Toronto based floral designer and plant installation artist. Her work is focused on exploring and preserving the authenticity of nature in the constructed medium. With a background in literature, she loves telling stories with florals, whether they be surrealist, classic or romantic narratives. She is drawn to contemporary and emotive designs.
