On behalf of the team, board, founding family, supporters and artists, we welcome you to the 60th Anniversary of Toronto Outdoor Art Fair!
It is a true delight to bring you one of the greatest TOAF artist showcases in recent years. This is also our first large-scale showcase of artists from across Canada (100+ beyond Ontario) and even internationally. There have been silver linings to this pandemic after all, and despite the challenges, it has allowed us to find new ways to bring together artists and art lovers from across the country.
The range of talent and artworks this year is simply spectacular and is already generating a lot of buzz. Enjoy the main showcase of 400+ artists at TOAF.ca and you can also join us, in-person, at stackt market to meet a rotating selection of TOAF60 artists from July 2 – 11, every day between 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
During the next 10 days, we will be sending you daily newsletters featuring programming of the day and thematic curated collections that exceptional guest artists, curators and collectors have put together to inspire you and offer points of entry to discovering artists.
Buying art online and supporting Canadian artists has never been easier. If it is your first time venturing into art buying, we have put together some tips. We encourage you to connect with artists directly in any way you can, through email, video call, or even arranging studio visits. The artists are looking forward to connecting with you!
Tune in to Instagram Live at 12:30 PM as we kick off TOAF60 with the awesome Tiffany Pratt and participating artists as they ring in the celebrations!
Enjoy your art-filled journey, and delight our artists with your attention, curiosity, and by taking home your artwork wishlist.
Happy 60th birthday, TOAF!
