The York Wilson Foundation for Visual Arts’ primary objective is to encourage public awareness, interest and involvement in the artistic legacy of Canadian Artist York Wilson (1907-1984). Among the initiatives the Foundation will offer are workshops, exhibitions, and educational/research resources designed to engage the public in exploring York Wilson's unique life and work. Grants and competitions are being developed to foster artistic expression at both youth and student levels. The Foundation hopes to add it’s voice to those enlivening Toronto’s vibrant cultural scene, and to help foster greater participation in the visual arts in general.

In 2013, the Foundation will be moving into our new home within the new ARTSCAPE project called "YOUNGplace", at 180 Shaw St. Toronto. “YOUNGplace” promises to be a dynamic presence as a broadly based community art’s centre. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

This web site is being developed to serve as an information and educational resource the general public. We hope you enjoy the experience…
