Design Hope Toronto Open Artist Call
Design Hope Toronto is seeking creative individuals to take part in a unique fundraising initiative to help Toronto’s less fortunate.

Now in our seventh year, Design Hope Toronto is recruiting artists, designers and architects to create and donate 2- and 3-dimensional works of art based on the theme of ‘shelter’.

The artwork will be auctioned off at our annual event, scheduled for Friday, April 13, 2012. All proceeds will alleviate suffering in our community by raising funds for the Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC) and Edmond Place.


After six years, more than 150 pieces of literal and abstract representations of shelter have been donated by artists, raising over $80,000 for Dixon Hall’s Homeless, Hostels and Housing program and Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre/Edmond Place.

Design Hope Toronto is accepting artist applications for our 2012 event until December 2, 2011. Artwork will be accepted on a first come, first served basis in order of commitment, with priority given to new contributors. Acceptance will also be based on ensuring a balanced cross-section of media is represented. Artists who are accepted will have three months to create their one-of-a-kind works of art.
