Our buzz-worthy Student Zone is a cultural treasure in the city with a loyal following and has sparked the discovery of fresh talents in thousands of art lovers since our inception. TOAF is known for hosting many nationally and internationally acclaimed Canadian artists under our iconic white tents at the early years of their careers including, Barbara Astman, David Blackwood, Edward Burtynsky, Ken Danby, Rob Gonsalves, Harlan House, Joanne Tod, and Jennifer Stead to name a few. We nurture the next generation of artists through partnerships with leading art schools and programs in the city including the OCAD U Career Launchers Program.
