There is a buzz … 

Let’s make the best of the last day 

Dear Friend of TOAF,

It’s the last day of TOAF63. We can’t believe we must wait another year for this buzz and excitement. We are going to make the best of these last hours to take it all in—we hope you do, too. The vibe at yesterday’s Award Ceremony was elevated, emotional and heartfelt. 

For those of you who were there, you know we had a big surprise! The iconic Canadian artist Charles Pachter anonymously sold work at the Fair on Friday. Unsuspecting collectors went home with a piece by the famous Canadian artist. Nile Ibrahim was awarded the Charles Pachter Entrepreneurship Award to celebrate an artist with the drive and business acumen to pursue their dreams. 

We’re open today until 5 PM! There are still plenty of things to do today at TOAF!  And here is a great guide in CBC Arts for your last day. 

If you’re joining TOAF from afar, enjoy Christine Kim’s Curated Collection, Textures of Time. The collection is full of art that captures the subtle passing of time. Art lovers take home art from it every year—in person and online. You can continue buying art on TOAF.ca. 

See you, 

The TOAF Team
