2025 Call for Artists is Open!

Deadline: March 7th, 2025

Help us keep the momentum
with a year-end gift

Dear Friend of TOAF,

Reflecting on this past year, we’re proud of what we have accomplished together. We have been telling you about TOAF’s extraordinary impact on our community over the past few years – we now have statistics to paint the story in full! Our recent Economic Impact Study by Nordicity uncovered staggering numbers since our last study in 2015. In 2023:

  • TOAF62 had a monumental $6.7 million Total GDP Impact – a 97% increase
  • The Fair supported 79 full-time equivalent jobs – a 67% boost in employment 
  • There has been a 45% increase in fees paid directly to artists since 2019
  • And a 35% increase in the number of free public programs 

You have played a lead role in this success story.

You have championed our artists, bought artworks, donated, attended our programs, read our stories, visited the Fair and spread the word with your community. 

Your continued support now is even more integral

to sustaining and amplifying TOAF’s impact – to keep doing what we are doing together! 

Please consider TOAF in your year-end giving. We would very much love that.  

I thank you for your generosity and support,

A look back at an incredible year

The 62nd Toronto Outdoor Art Fair was an abundant and elevated one— buzzing with art for all. Over 440 contemporary visual artists – emerging and established – joined us in person at Nathan Phillips Square and Online from every corner of the country. As always, there was something for everyone, all ages and all interests. Here is our Annual Report, capturing the magic of TOAF62. 


Thank you!
