One Path

Dear Barbara and the One Path collective artists,

On behalf of City of Toronto City Cultural Events, I am writing to express my sincerest appreciation for your participation in the 14th edition of Nuit Blanche Toronto. With your help the city was once again transformed through contemporary art from sunset to sunrise.

The Independent Projects Program is an integral part of the event as a whole, creating opportunities for community engagement and neighbourhood exploration through self-produced artistic programming. We were so pleased to include 21st Century Craft as part of the 48 independent projects of this year's Nuit Blanche Toronto. Your work is a vital part of what makes the program such a success, and we hope to continue building these meaningful relationships with cultural producers such as yourself as we move into the future with City-produced arts events such as Nuit Blanche Toronto.

Feedback from our event partners is crucial in evaluating our successes, and in discovering opportunities to learn, improve, and grow. We would greatly appreciate you taking 1 or 2 minutes to complete this short survey on your experience participating in Nuit Blanche Toronto as an Independent Project.

In the coming months, we will be preparing to announce the 2020-2021 Nuit Blanche program, with a new theme, artistic director, the call for applications and even more opportunities to connect with audiences in the GTA and beyond. We hope you will continue to stay involved with City of Toronto arts and culture events, whether it is as a producer, partner or visitor.

With our deepest thanks,

One Path is a group of 14 women and artists whose exhibition is a multi-disciplinary, interactive, feminist celebration for, by and about women. The event includes elements of costume design, horticultural art, mosaics, painting, photography, sculpture, stained glass, videography and textiles, as well as digital and performance art. You can expect to witness female rites of passage from birth to death. W-O-M-A-N is a true celebration of the joy, pain, fear and love womanhood embodies. (Photography by City of Toronto) ♥

Dear Barbara,

I'm writing to congratulate you and your team on an incredibly successful Nuit Blanche installation! I was unfortunately not able to visit, but my colleague Cynthia was blown away by what she called "a secret garden of thoughtful, beautiful installations about important women's issues."

I hope your experience was a positive one. Of course do not hesitate to reach out with any feedback, as we want to continue improving how we support independent artists and organizations through the event.

Wishing you a restful week! Congratulations and best of luck on your future endeavours. I hope our paths will cross again!

Best,

Shannon
