Art Programming for Everyone!
Akin Project’s Remote Gallery is run by artists for artists, providing free and low-cost public programming. We uplift creative voices, support community development, and foster a strong and healthy arts environment, online and in-person. Our offerings at Remote Gallery include skillsharing, network building, paid opportunities for artists, and support for the creative community.
Responding to the changing needs of our community, Akin’s mandate for free and accessible programming reflects the values at the heart of our organization. From professional development & educational opportunities to exhibitions & open studio events, we aim to offer a variety of programming options in Toronto and beyond.
Collaboration and engagement with other groups and individuals is also an essential part of Akin Projects’ success and enables us to offer these resources at little to no cost to artists, and to the public at large. The majority of our programming is supported through the valued contributions and relationships we have with our community partners, stakeholders, and members.

Akin will be prioritizing Toronto’s newcomer artists, the Toronto Arts Council Equity Priority Groups and Akin’s current members for bookings of the space, but everyone is welcome to inquire!
A huge thank you to the Toronto Arts Council for their collaboration on this space, without whom this would not have been possible. Special thanks also to our friends and collaborators Neighbourhood Arts Network and Toronto Employment and Social Services’ Art Connections program.

“On behalf of Neighbourhood Arts Network, I want to extend a sincere thank you for you for having us in the Remote Gallery space earlier this week for our Make Friends, Make Art: Artistic Playdate event for Newcomer Week! The space was a perfect venue for a series of workshops intended to provide a relaxed atmosphere for our facilitators to guide folks through different ways to engage with art and for our attendees to connect with each other comfortably. Thank you again and we look forward to future collaborations with Remote Gallery!”
