Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts is a member-based independent non-profit organization.
Founded in 1998, the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts is an independent, membership based, non-profit organization that promotes knowledge of the visual arts to its members through an extensive education program, and provides support and recognition for artistic achievement to artists and art organizations in the Greater Toronto Area.
Our mission is to encourage excellence and creativity by supporting up-and-coming artists and art organizations. Annually, we host a Tribute Night, where we celebrate the arts and the achievements of our prize-winners.
