UrbanArts is a progressive, inclusive arts organization committed to community building through the arts. As one of Toronto’s Local Arts Service Organizations (LASOs), we operate out of two vibrant hubs in the Weston-Mount Dennis area, offering accessible programs that serve people of all ages and backgrounds.
Our work spans across generations, disciplines, and neighbourhoods—connecting people through creativity, skill-building, and cultural expression.
UrbanArts exists to ensure that access to the arts isn’t limited by where you live or what resources you have. In communities like York South–Weston, opportunities for creative expression are often out of reach due to underinvestment and a lack of space. We respond by offering free, inclusive programs that reflect the identities, stories, and voices of the people we serve.
Through mentorship, community collaboration, and public art, we help youth build confidence, support artists in growing their practice, and provide seniors with meaningful ways to connect. The result is more than just art. It’s community pride, stronger neighbourhoods, and lasting relationships built through creativity.
