‘Live With Culture’ banners flap over the city. It’s the Year of Creativity, City Hall proclaims. And across the city the tinkle of pocket change can be heard as donors pony up millions for the rom, the ago, the Opera House. Culture’s never had it so good. Right? The State of the Artsexplores the Toronto arts scene from every angle. The essays consider the big-ticket and the ticket-free, from the agoand the cneto the subconscious art of graffiti eradication and underground hiphop. In between, you’ll find considerations of art in the suburbs, how the arts help to sell condos, an examination of Toronto on film and a history of micro press publishing. You’ll read about the fine line between party and art, the power of the internet to create arts communities and a plea for music spaces that cater to musicians and their kids. Taken together, the thoughts of these writers, thinkers, musicians and city-builders aim to create an honest survey of where we’re at and where we can go.
