We’re thrilled to be partnering with Toronto Arts Council (TAC) on another year of Animating Historic Sites!
Through this program, artists, arts organizations, and collectives are able to work within The Village at Black Creek to research, develop, create, produce, present, and conduct programming that responds to or interprets selected sites or museums.
NEXT EVENT:
Cripping the Past
Saturday, September 27, 2025 | 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
In September, The Village hosts Cripping the Past, this season’s second Animating Historic Sites project, presented by Pushmakers.
This free social dance ball reimagines historic and cultural dances to be disability-friendly, queer-affirming, and family-inclusive.
Enjoy an evening of guided dancing, demonstrations, food, and fun in a masked event with multiple accessibility measures in place.
For details and to RSVP, visit pushmakers.org/cripping-the-past.

The Animating Historic Sites program provides funding to professional artists, arts organizations, and collectives working in any artistic discipline (i.e. theatre, dance, music, visual arts, media arts, community engaged arts, Indigenous arts, Black arts, disability arts, arts education, literary arts, etc.) to pursue time limited projects involving site-specific research, development, creation, production, presentation, and programming that responds to or interprets the selected site or museum.
Applications for the next intake open in May 2026 through the Toronto Arts Council. Stay tuned here and on our social media for updates.
