What we’re about
An awesome place for fellow Arts and Culture lovers around our city to meet, attend and organize events, share ideas and interests!
Join us as we explore Toronto galleries, museums, fairs, and the best in international films, theatre, opera, food, dance, architecture/design, music and the avant-garde.
We will be active with many of the festivals and fairs that take place throughout the year.
Above all we want to create leading events where people can make new friends while enjoying common interests.
We ask that if you are joining us, you make Toronto Arts & Culture, one of your Top 3 Toronto Meetup groups. Some of our events are quite large, some are intimate. If we can't find you, pls try and find us as best you can. If we are not able to connect up, if you are new to our group..don't give up, try again, as we will do! After 3-5 times coming out, you will have made some new arts & culture friends.
If you need to change/update your RSVP, please do so in a timely and professional manner. When you join, try and get a picture posted and a bit of info about yourself...its helps in identification at events.
Some of our events are ticketed, some have service charges, but the majority are free.
We look forward to meeting you soon!

Join us at Beeton Hall--Toronto Reference Library (1rst floor). 100 seats.
Roza Nozari (she/her) is a queer, Muslim, Iranian-Canadian writer, artist, and therapist based in Tkaronto. She joins us to launch her recently released memoir, All the Parts We Exile. The book traces her journey toward radical self-acceptance and of being exiled from her ancestral home. A heartfelt and insightful exploration of the author’s coming-of-age as the daughter of immigrants, her acceptance of her own queer sexuality and quest to understand her own world and attachments in contrast/connection with her mother’s distinct experience growing up in Iran.
Known also as YallaRoza on social media, her work weaves together writing and visual art to share stories of wounding, healing, and community. Her work invites radical re-imaginings of our world, towards one more invested in collective healing and liberation. She is the illustrator of three children’s books: Little People Big Dreams' Mindy Kaling (2021), Fluffy and The Stars (2023), and The Anti-Racist Kitchen (2023). Her illustrations have been featured locally and internationally—from university campuses to sports arenas and pride festivals.
In conversation with queer writer, activist and psychotherapist, Farzana Doctor (she/her).
