During the past months, I have embarked on a unique opportunity to learn from our team and leaders in the arts sector about North York Arts! North York Arts is the product of the need of bringing the arts outside the downtown core! During the past decade, the organization has engaged with thousands of community members, artists, partners and celebrate the rich diversity of North York. I feel extremely fortunate for having the chance to be the 10th-Anniversary Digital Producer of NYA! Welcome and please enjoy what we have prepared for you all!

Thank you so much for joining our 10th Anniversary celebrations! This special program is filled with inspiring artwork that will lead North York Arts into the future, as well as incredible resources to understand the 10 years of positive impact NYA has had on artists and the North York community. I am incredibly grateful to every single person who has helped NYA get to where it is today – artists, arts workers, participants, Board members, City Councillors, our partners at the City of Toronto, our funders, sponsors and valued donors. Together we can foster creativity and celebrate cultural expressions in this fantastic part of the city – North York! Enjoy this virtual celebration, there is something for everyone!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank and celebrate all of our sponsors, funders, artists, and volunteers for being part of North York Arts. I am proud to celebrate ten years of North York Arts and honoured to be a part of a team that develops inspiring programs all across our community by working with a wide variety of incredible artists, organizations and partners. I am excited about what has been achieved and look forward to North York Arts continuing to foster a bright, equitable, and inclusive future for the arts community in North York!
