There is no ceiling on the possibilities…I left the residency physically tired, but emotionally and creatively energized and in complete awe of the Art City community.”     “The participant group at Art City is the most diverse group of individuals I have interacted with. The diversity each day speaks to the ability of the Art City team to make all people feel welcome, feel supported, and stay engaged in art. “        - Karen Kar Yen Law (Markham, ON, 2025 artist-in-residence)

Current Programming 

We acknowledge that our work takes place on Treaty 1 Territory — the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe), Ininew (Cree), Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the heartland of the Red River Métis.We honour the enduring relationships that Indigenous peoples have with this land, water, and community. As a community arts organization, we are grateful to create, share, and connect on these lands, and we recognize that the arts have long been a transformative means for storytelling, healing, and cultural expression.We strive to root our work in decolonization, using creative practices to build understanding, respect, and lasting relationships across our community.
