Dear Friend of TOAF,
Thank you for making the first day of Toronto Online Art Fair a wild success. In less than 24 hours, our artists have sold over 150 artworks across Canada, USA, and even as far as Japan and Hong Kong! We are so thrilled for our artists; let’s keep the buzz going!
Don't forget to tune into our daily programming. Watch Studio Tours on our IG TV, Art Talks on Zoom and Youtube, as well as impromptu live chats on Instagram with TOAF staff and participating artists!
