Arts and Equity Toolkit

A project of the Neighbourhood Arts Network

On a regular basis, Toronto Arts Foundation's Neighbourhood Arts Network hosts community conversations on topics that are of interest to our members. These discussions help us to understand the barriers and challenges that artists and cultural workers are facing, and to explore innovative solutions. The Arts & Equity Project has emerged from needs and concerns identified by artists who are working to engage Toronto communities through the arts.
