Animating Historic Sites

We’re thrilled to be partnering with Toronto Arts Council (TAC) on yet another year of Animating Historic Sites!

Animating Historic Sites - create and produce art in unique Toronto settings

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.

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.

Those interested must apply through Toronto Arts Council; a site visit at the Village at Black Creek is always encouraged before submitting your application.

The deadline to apply is July 8, 2025.

The Village will host an artist open house on Saturday, June 21, 2025 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Please register via email by contacting allison.white@trca.ca.
