Toronto Outdoor Art Fair returns this July with the online fair from July 2–9 and the weekend outdoor show at Nathan Phillips Square July 7–9. Buzzing with art for all, TOAF continues to connect with artists and collectors across Canada and the globe and Now Toronto is giving away a $500 gift card for its online fair to one lucky winner.
This year, TOAF is commemorating its 62nd anniversary as one of the most beloved art events in the city. The fair will set up shop at Nathan Phillips Square from July 7-9, with unique art collections, installations, guided tours, soulful kids programs, live painting, a first-time showcase of video art and a brand new site-specific dance called Leap (of faith) by choreographer Jenn Goodwin and her collaborators.
Over 350 artists from across Canada will take over the square in numerous white tents for visitors to peruse. In addition, 69 artists will also present their work exclusively online on TOAF’s website.
In support of out-of-province artists, TOAF has introduced a new travel bursary program that will assist artists living outside of Ontario to attend and participate in the fair.
“…Every year, we look to surprise and delight our visitors with exceptional artists, stimulating conversations, upbeat entertainment, positive vibes and free family fun. Our public programs this year are definitely abundant and elevated – Buzzing with Art for All. And, we want you to savour them,” TOAF Executive & Creative Director Anahita Azrahimi said in a news release.
“Connecting artists and art lovers on such a grand scale and supporting the creative economy of the city is what we look forward to every July,” she added.
TOAF is considered to be an economic hotbed for independent artists because the event garners over two million dollars in income for artists. Over 1,400 artworks have found new homes across the country and worldwide through the online platform.
Visitors can come to TOAF from July 7 to 9. For more details, subscribe to its newsletter on TOAF.ca.
