Felt like you were wandering around aimlessly at Nuit Blanche Toronto these last two years? You’re not alone.

 

We at Studio Shtot are interested in celebrating art in Toronto and join in the desire for an engaging display of that art. Taking stock of the frustrations that have been voiced about events like Nuit Blanche, we propose the Toronto Alternative Arts Festival, which seeks to provide the public with site-inspired works created by fellow Torontonians.

 

By grounding the TAAF with an inherent and specific sense of place and community, the festival will be better equipped to directly engage with the many active conversations taking place between Torontonians. We hope that by proposing an alternative festival Toronto will remain an enthusiastic and creative city.
