Akin x TOAF Space Award

The Akin x TOAF Space Award is designed, in collaboration with the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair (TOAF), to support emerging artists in Toronto by providing access to creative workspace and/or exhibition space.

The award is open to artists working in all mediums.

Eligibility is limited to artists exhibiting in-person at TOAF and living in the Greater Toronto Area, as the awarded spaces are physically located in Toronto.

Preference will be given to:

• First-time TOAF award recipients

• Artists who are not currently Akin members

The award recipient will be selected by TOAF’s jury panel in collaboration with Akin’s Gallery Manager, Renato Baldin.

The Toronto Arts Council Equity Framework will be incorporated into the final selection process.

The recipient will receive a $1,000 credit applicable toward:

• an Akin studio membership (shared or dedicated) at any Akin location

• a Remote Gallery rental

• or a combination of both
