Art Starts Creates Vibrant Toronto Neighbourhoods Through Community-Building Arts Initiatives.

WHAT WE DO:

Art Starts inspires long-term social change in Toronto's under-served neighbourhoods. We use the arts to engage residents, nurture resiliency, cultivate life skills, and inspire personal growth.

HOW WE DO IT:

Art Starts works in five under-served Toronto neighbourhoods. We bring together professional artists – dancers, musicians, visual artists, actors, and playwrights – with residents of all ages. Together we create accessible and dynamic art projects that reflect the identities and aspirations of each community.
