Is your organization a visual art, theatre, music or literary group looking for a permanent home?

Neilson Park Creative Centre (NPCC) is accepting applications from registered not-for-profit arts organizations that wish to become part of our vibrant collective of guilds that call the Centre home. We prioritize groups that encompass Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. Groups who employ or serve equity seeking individuals will be given priority consideration.

NPCC is a charitable organization that serves the diverse landscape of Toronto through partnerships, outreach initiatives and community engagement. As an arts hub in Western Toronto, NPCC serves the community by offering arts-based classes, workshop, drop-ins, open studios, events and exhibitions within and outside its facilities.

We welcome all individuals to the Centre through free and paid programming and deliver free arts-based learning as outreach programs outside the Centre. NPCC provides gallery space as rentals in its fully accessible facilities of 4 studios, 5 gallery spaces, administrative offices and support spaces.

We are proud to serve all demographics through our art exhibitions – we offer an average of 17 exhibitions per year per gallery, rotating on a 3-week exhibition schedule. Our internal programming primarily targets adult populations through the guilds we serve; and family and youth programming through the classes and workshops we offer. Externally, we serve a wide range of populations including youth, families and adults. In 2024, NPCC had more than 25,000 visitors. For additional information on NPCC click here.
