Art Collecting
Begins Tonight
See You on the
Square Tomorrow
Dear Friend of TOAF,
TOAF’s Online Fair opens tonight at midnight, sharp. If you’re not in Toronto, we’ve got you covered—65+ artists, Exclusively Online, alongside the entire TOAF65 roster. Help us make this moment extra special for them—if something makes you go “ohhh,” just do it!
To kick off your online art collecting journey, our TOAF65 Advisory Circle has curated a special collection to get you cruising. The Future Looks Bright! (It definitely does)
We’ve landed at Nathan Phillips Square to set up, and we’re giddier than usual. Because this one hits differently.
We’ve put in our order for 25°C and clear skies—no extremes, please.
This is not an easy show for artists. Extreme heat, sudden rain, once-in-a-blue-moon tent-blowing winds—and we need to be prepared for all of it. There’s a lot of loading in and packing out, every single day. It’s a labour of love, and it’s how they bring you this epic visual feast.
So come prepared: good shoes, sunscreen, a hat, a water bottle, and—of course—your art-collecting budget. It’s going to be a tempting weekend. Worth every moment.
We can’t wait!

P.S. — Tomorrow, if you pass by Union Station between 11 AM and 1 PM, a TOAF birthday cupcake is waiting for you🧁😉
You’ll also spot our wild postings and activations at Billy Bishop, around the city, Sankofa Square, neighbourhood lawns, and subway paths—snap a pic and share on socials, let the whole city know to come and support the artists.💓

Thank You Innit Design
Once again this year, Innit Designs is proud to furnish the beer tent and lounge area at the TOAF. Our furniture, including our iconic Acapulco chair, is proudly made right here in Toronto and highly customizable to suit any space. Built for outdoors and in, they stay cool on hot summer days and never need to come in when it rains—durable, low-maintenance design for hospitality venues and homes alike.
It’s become a tradition we love, outfitting the spot where artists, vendors, and visitors kick back on their TOAF art crawl. Check us out at www.innitdesigns.com and share your experience – #sitinnit
