Such fun celebrating Toronto Arts Council & Toronto Arts Foundation Awards (hosted by Britta Ba-Doom Badour!) at Arcadian Court (where gay boys took their moms on special occasions). I'm wearing a custom-T by Leo Scopacasa of ORBITAL ARTS GALLERY #KensingtonMarket , my nominee for next year's consideration. #TOArtsAwards
I’m proud to play a role at Toronto Arts Council & Toronto Arts Foundation. It’s HARD to be an artist in 2024 - especially in Toronto. It needs to be easier. Let’s make it happen. thestar.com/entertainment/…

“Arts organizations are already stretched in terms of resources,” said Kelly Langgard, director and CEO of Toronto Arts Council & Toronto Arts Foundation. “And if it gets much worse, I think that, for me, is untenable.'
An important article on the challenges facing arts organizations!

This “escalating crisis in Toronto arts” is why I pushed to include an extra $2 million for Toronto Arts Council & Toronto Arts Foundation in this year’s Budget.
As organizations falter and some close their doors, the Mayor and Council must take responsibility for their inaction.
