Thank you to the City of Toronto and United Way for recognizing Making Art Making Change (MAMC) with the TORONTO COMMUNITY CHAMPION AWARD!
The Award was presented to MAMC by Mayor Olivia Chow at a memorable ceremony hosted by Dr Irene DaVilla.
It was a night to celebrate the magnificent work of 25 Community organizations and a proud moment for MAMC to be counted among them ! 
Artistic Directors Vanessa Barnett and Elena Soní are grateful for the magnificent support of our Board and the privilege to work across the GTA in Toronto’s underserved communities.

MAMC acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We honour their histories, traditions and continuous living cultures, and commit to accountability, respectful relations and friendship. 

MAMC invites everyone to participate in our projects in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect. 

MAMC is thankful for the opportunity to work with all communities in the spirit of inclusivity, reciprocity and collaboration.
