The Creative City, Block by Block

Every person in Toronto has the right to enjoy the rich cultural life that is the hallmark and pride of Toronto. Through partnerships and initiatives, TACF’s Block by Block program seeks to connect even the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods with the transformational value of artistic activity.

In order to achieve the goals of this program, TACF is developing partnerships with a range of Toronto’s institutions, agencies and private companies; these unique relationships bring necessary resources and much needed momentum to the project.

The gap, therefore, is $45 million, or 21% of current revenues.
