Curated by Lay-Up, a charity using basketball to create spaces where young people can belong, EVERY KID NEEDS A TEAM is a collection that brings together works selected by members of the Lay-Up team— our 401 Richmond neighbours and “work crushes”— reflecting their belief that our individual perspectives and strengths make the collective stronger.
The TOAF65 Advisory Committee collection reflects works each member wanted to live with, wake up to, and keep discovering — chosen through different lenses and perspectives.
Curious, emotive pieces: wonder in a hummingbird, comfort in a familiar shoreline, the grandness of the Canadian landscape, even works that came together through their titles like some strange, unresolved narrative. It’s a beautiful place to start your art discovery journey.
Enjoy a preview of stand-out TOAF65 artists, brought to you by our jurors, Sandra Brewster, Suzanne Carte, Maria Kanellopoulos, and Jesse King. TOAF’s jury chose these artworks as their Jurors’ Picks, selecting nine outstanding pieces they came across in their jurying. Selected artists include MP Guillot, Jenelle Smith, Clothilde Allen, Michelle Ross, Maria Moldovan, Gurdeep Singh, Rhys Ker, Hugo Cantin, and Tetyana Lypka.
