Festival

Come visit North Etobicoke and York in the City of Toronto this summer to get a taste of the vibrant arts culture these communities have to offer. This program has been celebrating the extraordinary abilities of Torontonian artists since 2014. Over 100,000 people have attended Cultural Hotspot programs, exploring local art organizations, libraries, and community projects.

Interactions with Artists

Many of the artists in attendance at this year's event are fluent in English, and often several other languages. Others may only speak in their mother tongue. Please be patient with artists with limited English and feel free to ask Festival staff if a translator is available. There are many different dialects and languages spoken across Northern Canada, but we will do our best to help make conversations with all artists possible.
