Nathan Phillips Square is bursting with palpable energy. You have to be here to feel it.
There is nothing like a gathering of 350+ artists and 100,000+ art lovers in one space. The reunion has been a delight for everyone!
Our programming is in full swing and we love every minute of it.
We love to see our audiences walking home with new works of art and the tangible sold stickers in artists' booths. Online sales are also coming through strongly!
The media has also been giving TOAF some love, with artist interviews and coverage of the Fair. If you can’t make it to the Fair, our social media channels have loads of jazzy content that will make you feel like you are with us.
But if you are in and around Toronto, this is where you want to spend your summer weekend.
Enjoy today’s Curated Collection of organic vessels and earthly artifacts in GROUNDING OBJECTS brought to you by Toronto-based artist and visual philosopher Dahae Song.
Cheers,
Heather, Jane, Polen, Wing & TOAF Team
