ArtHouseTO Labour Day Message
Hello Folks! Happy Labour Day!
Our beloved ArtHouseTO HQ storefront space in Riverdale Toronto is up for sale and we are doing everything we can to remain here and continue to grow our impact.
On the ground here at Headquarters for all things ArtHouseTO, our production studio is the same space inhabited intermittently by PopUp activities in the Storefront. A modest flex community space, a rental ready for upgraded AV systems, signage opportunities, sponsored programming.
On our own to date, we have been able to respond to requests for low- to no-barrier exhibition space, media production space, family-friendly art workshops, and art market opportunities.
Cultural Spaces like this one need to be able to continue to offer safe and welcoming places to gather, find solidarity, explore creative solutions to big problems, share expertise, cross-pollinate knowledge and teaching, and find fellowship and healing. Both online and in-person.
We have received accolades and positive feedback that attests to the value of activities related to ArthouseTO, the relative accessibility of participation and the holistic benefits felt by participants. Ideally all programming will be resourced in line with honouring and uplifting the incredible talent generously exchanged here, reflecting the wealth of Cultural Capital in our communities.
It is our greatest wish that this work may continue without interrupting the momentum of positive impact that has been germinating, growing and blooming for the last 3 years here in the Pape and Danforth/ Riverdale Area.
Join us in conversation about how this enterprise may continue considering the unknowns of the property sale.
