2009 is certainly a year of celebrations all around Toronto. This year The Word On The Street will be celebrating its 20th festival with exciting programming and new activities in the works. Not only is it a special year for our festival, but the city of Toronto is of course celebrating its 175th birthday and the Toronto Arts Council is honouring its 35th year of giving.
In celebration of the TAC's 35th anniversary, a new program has recently been launched as part of their Lit City- Toronto Stories, Toronto Settings initiative. Get Lit! is a unique inter-disciplinary opportunity for artists to explore the ways text and spoken word can be presented in various media and to discover the boundary-less forms of story-telling. All residents from across Toronto are invited to submit a creative work inspired by the city and its art-inspiring citizens.
For more information visit: http://www.torontoarts.org/GetLit.pdf.
The submissions will be accepted until May 4 and will be featured at a special exhibition from May 23 – 24 at the Toronto Arts Council Foundation (141 Bathurst St.). Be sure to check it out or better yet…tell a story!
