In order for us to engage in the process of reconciliation, we must educate ourselves on the painful past brought onto Indigenous Peoples and Communities as a direct result of the actions of colonialism in this country.
We must also understand this is still a current issue.
As we recognize the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and Communities across the country, and recognize the immense amount of work that needs to be done in order to reconcile the painful history and ongoing impacts of our country’s wrong doings.
We have a responsibility to do better, and learn from our actions. We encourage you to read about the steps that can be taken in learning about Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, and check out other resources, and areas where you can help.
Artscape Hubs have reopened and we want you to check out the variety of events taking place at our spaces! Painting exhibitions, photography shows, film screenings, public installations, artist residencies…we’re sure you’ll find something you like!

The event industry got hit hard at the onset of COVID-19 being declared a pandemic 😷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything has been flipped upside down, the world is in a state of emergency and physical distancing orders are still at play.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wait daily with bated breath for clear direction and information from Toronto Public Health on how to help flatten the curve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet, it is still unclear when the industry will begin booking events freely again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Back in May, we asked our mailing list where they thought the industry was heading in the foreseeable future (in this survey). 10 questions and 91 responses exposed—67% of event organizers suspended operations and 58% said they would continue future business planning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Here’s how 3 event planners, Jessica of Blunt BAE, Jenny of Three Lights Events, and Kirsten of Nóbl Events Inc. pivoted their business in the middle of a pandemic.

How to Organize a One-of-a-Kind Event and Be Home In-Time For Dinner
A Social Enterprise That Helps to Fund Community Programs, Artist Residencies and Non-Profit Subsidies
It can be a bit confusing at first, but let’s put it this way…Artscape Performace & Event Venues is a little like a mullet – business in the front, philanthropy on the backend.
We house 6 venues in our portfolio that we rent out, everything from community to corporate events:
Daniels Spectrum, Artscape Daniels Launchpad, Artscape Sandbox, Artscape Wychwood Barns, Artscape Weston Common, and Artscape Gibraltar Point. And we keep these spaces open and accessible to the public no matter what event is happening at the moment.
We don’t cover costs for non-profits to attend events at our venues, as events are put on by third-party vendors and we only provide the space. Having said that, we often attract organizations that provide complimentary tickets for the public.
“Your venues are expensive!”
Like art, this is a matter of perspective, if you consider the title of this post on APEV being a social enterprise (and the revenue from venue rentals directly contributes to building operation costs of the 6 event spaces, subsidies for non-profits and grassroot organizations)…then it may change your perspective on what’s considered expensive when the funds funnel back into Toronto’s creative and non-profit community (remember the mullet?).
We do our best to keep our rates on the more affordable end of event spaces in the city.
Also, we’re not a full-service event planning enterprise. We provide the venue space, support staff, and tech A/V technicians. That’s why we stay in touch with event planners/organizers like you.
