Rooted in jazz, soul, and contemporary improvisation, Janel’s sound is shaped by their Carribean heritage and over a decade performing within Toronto’s music community. Their music honors the ancestors, and holds the complexities of their intersectional earth experience.

Atonal is the solo project of Kalina Nedelcheva, who blends experimental poetry, improvisation, and sound recording to create contemplative ecosystems that explore how sound affects our understanding of images, memories, the environment, and language.

Paint with Pride Exhibition
Worth Gallery 830 Dundas
Aug.13th to 16th
Reception and Artist Talk Aug.15th 5-9pm

The exhibition showcases the brilliant artworks that were created and displayed as part of Paint with Pride! 2026 a public at large engagement by StreetARToronto during Pride weekend that took place from June 26th to 28th where visitors were invited to engage with public art through a welcoming, hands-on creative space called the ‘Quiet Zone’ at the ‘ArtZone’ PrideTO.

Co- Curator, Monica Wickler and guest artist Renato Baldin created an interactive community sculpture for bypassers to animate with stickers framed with the rainbow colours and respond to the prompt what makes you smile? This activation was facilitated in collaboration with youth from the YMCA Greater Toronto Area, Newcomers Program.

At the StART Wall, a series of videos highlighted the ten StART programs and featured some inspiring videos that captured the essence of the process of creating a mural as well as the celebration of those public art works with and for the community.

This exhibition highlights public art as a tool for inclusion, visibility, and community connection, creating space to reflect, remember, share, create, educate, and celebrate the diversity of a community that won’t stop!

Reception: Aug. 1st, 5-9pm
Submission Deadline: Saturday, July 25th, 2026, 11:59pm
Application link in bio.

StreetARToronto and Worth Gallery are now accepting submissions for the 3rd Annual Emancipation Exhibition, taking place in August 2026. This year’s theme is centred on Identity and is a free open call for BIPOC Visual Artists of all practices.

Concept Description - Identity
“Identity is the collection of physical, mental, emotional, and social traits that define who you are. It encompasses how you perceive yourself (personal identity) and how you are categorized by society (social identity), and provides the distinguishing characteristics that make you uniquely recognizable.

Entry Criteria
The key criteria for entry in the 3rd Annual Emancipation Exhibition is thoughtful engagement with the exhibition concept outlined above. Participating artists are invited to freely interpret the concept in the context of their own perspectives, experience, and art practice.
Additional practical considerations:

Size restrictions
We ask that all works be no larger than 24”x24”.
Submission sizes should not exceed 10 megabytes

Production date
There are no restrictions on the production date of submitted works.

Geographic restrictions
We typically accept submissions from artists whose practice is based in Toronto. However, we welcome applicants from across Canada, provided that logistical considerations are addressed in advance.

If the selection panel members find it necessary to view the work in-person during the selection process, we ask that the piece be available for viewing in the greater Toronto area. In this case, the curators will contact the artist in advance and arrange a visit at a mutually convenient time.

Number of works submitted by artists
We generally ask that artists submit no more than 3 works. However, we will consider series or bodies of work that consist of more than 3 interrelated pieces.
