This public event invites everyone to celebrate the amazing contributions of artists and arts organizations to our city. Performances by Pan Fantasy, Cris Derksen, Berma x Inter Access and Tapestry Opera will showcase just some of the dynamic work that Toronto Arts Council funds while family-friendly interactive arts activities will give attendees the opportunity to create and innovate together. As a community-led organization, Toronto Arts Council is hosting this event to give collective thanks to their artists for shaping the city we see today while they look ahead to 50 more years of cultural growth and care.
