Toronto Culture is holding a series of consultations asking Toronto residents and culture stakeholders about how to strengthen community arts across the city. We want to hear ideas and suggestions on how to continue the development of programs that serve the diverse needs of communities and make the arts, in all its diverse forms, accessible to all Torontonians.
