The Cultural Hotspot shines a spotlight on arts, culture and community. In 2020, the Cultural Hotspot celebrates North York and will feature a series of new Signature and SPARK arts projects to engage community members of all ages while providing opportunities for youth mentorship and employment.
The City of Toronto’s Arts and Culture Services collaborates with arts organizations already active in the neighbourhood, partnering to develop dynamic transformative projects that provide new opportunities to engage the community and highlight the vibrancy within.
Through seed funding and mentorships, SPARK supports emerging and equity-seeking artists and arts organizations from diverse communities – promoting local artistic talent and organizations.
