GROW NORTH - newcomer artist picnic

Grow North – Newcomer Artist Lunch

🧺🌻 Newcomer Artist Lunch: Connect, Share & Grow!

Our FREE Newcomer Artist Picnic is back, but as lunch this year!

North York Arts invites newcomer artists to join us for a welcoming lunch focused on connection, community, and creativity. This gathering is an opportunity to meet fellow artists, discover valuable arts resources, and build connections with arts and cultural organizations across Toronto.

Participants will have the chance to engage with another organization’s event, meet new people, exchange ideas, and expand their creative networks. Artists will also receive a handbook of artist resources to help them navigate Toronto’s arts community and discover opportunities to support their creative practice.

Whether you’re looking to grow your network, connect with fellow newcomer artists, or learn more about the local arts and cultural landscape, the Newcomer Artist Lunch is a great opportunity to feel more connected to North York’s creative community. 💛
