Spring is about to, well, spring, and it’s time to get ready for gardening. This year’s Bloomin’ Garden Show and Art Sale is still looking for volunteers as well as those interested in a horticultural booth at the event. You can contact info@artsontheave.org to get involved.

Plans for the redevelopment of the building into a community focused arts/arts friendly facility continue!

Partners Arts Habitat Association and Arts on the Ave have just completed an intensive consulting workshop with expert in the field of cultural rejuvenation – Toronto Artscape CEO Tim Jones.  They continue successful discussions with the City to develop a long-term plan for the building use and rejuvenation.  At the same time they recognize that the building can and should be put to use in the interim.  Public information sessions will be held in the near future to include the community on those developments.

Look forward to new life in the building soon!

To those of you who participated in the November Cycle Building Visioning Session, your input has been invaluable.  A summary of your comments can be found on the following links:
