To be an artist has always been a precarious form of labour; to be an artists’ outlet and publisher has always been a tenuous form of self-organizing. We are acutely aware of the risks of being a space for artists in the way that we are. We know what risks existed in the past, and know enough to understand we can’t know what risks await us in the future. Seeing our peers and fellow platforms fall prey to the increasingly unstable nature of our industry has made us even more committed to our mission, and it has made the impact of your donation even more vital.

Every day, we strive to strengthen our foundation of creative experimentation and artist autonomy. Our work is not limited to just the gallery space, but incorporates it as part of a constellation: we produce books, audio tours, vinyl records, and off-site projects, to name just a few areas of our expansive reach.

By donating to YYZ Artists’ Outlet, you will become part of an essential lineage in Toronto that extends across the country and throughout the world. Your contribution will reverberate widely, but we encourage you to also think of the ways donating creates smaller but no less profound changes to an artist’s life and work. Give now in any amount to join us in this mission.
