The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto.
The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto was founded in 1908 and is most famous for being where the Group of Seven (Canada’s most renowned group of artists) came together. It is a private club, but always open to new members. It has a long, rich history of being a place where artists of all kinds can meet to discuss new ideas and artistic experiments in literature, architecture, music, painting, and stage. I have been a member since 2004, and in that time I have coordinated the Boar’s Head Feast, North America’s longest-running medieval Christmas feast, directed the Spring Revue, the long-running variety show and curated the Friday night Ad Lib events that could be anything from a play reading, to an artists salon to a DADA experiment.
