Why support FUTURE PROOF?

Join us in securing Open Studio's future! We aim to provide a vibrant printmaking space for artists for generations to come.

Open Studio, a charitable organization and an Artist-Run Centre in Toronto, is dedicated to contemporary printmaking. We offer inclusive and affordable printmaking facilities, programs, and services to artists and the public across Canada and beyond.

In March 2024, we launched the 'Save Open Studio' campaign, aiming to secure funds for a sustainable future. Thanks to our community's generous support, we've raised enough funds to sustain operations until the end of June. However, we now seek further backing to plan for a stable future. Participate in the FUTURE PROOF 2024 auction to support our anticipated renovations and refreshed reopening in 2025.

Winning bidders will have the opportunity to pick the work up in person or select shipping on checkout. Need help bidding? Have questions? Email us at office@openstudio.ca or call us at 416-504-8238.
