CRAFTY BIZ: concerns raised re: toronto art show

Note: This post is for informational purposes only for anyone considering applying for the show…

I received an email forwarded from Emma Quin, General Manager of the Ontario Crafts Council, addressing some concerns about the legitimacy of the Toronto Art Show.

Here are some findings reported by the OCC:

The three sponsors listed on the website – Tim Horton’s, MacDonald’s and Coca-Cola have all confirmed that they are not associated with the show. The is no vendors agreement/license with the City of Toronto for the Toronto Art League or the Toronto Art Show to use Coronation Park, the advertised location of the show. I have been unable to speak with anyone directly at the show.

Emma has agreed to keep me posted on any developments and I will pass them on to you all.
