Opening Reception

  • JAYU FESTIVAL INC. 401 Richmond Street West Suite 380 Toronto, ON, M5V 3A8 Canada (map)

Come celebrate with us as we kick off the JAYU Festival of the Arts and uplift youth voices across the GTA through the power of creative expression rooted in human rights, social justice, and equity!

This year, we’re thrilled to present the iAM Retrospective—a special exhibition showcasing the work of youth artists who’ve grown with us over the years. These youth artists and iAM alumni will take you through their creative journeys—past, present, and future as they share art that captures their unique experiences and perspectives. The evening will feature a panel discussion where they dive deeper into their stories, process and artistic practise.

Produced and curated by youth, this festival shines a light on the next generation of GTA artists and filmmakers who are tackling important issues through art, film, and poetry. They’re opening up new ways for us to experience the stories that matter most—our stories.
