What we’re about

ATTENTION Professional Fine Artists & Drawing Hobbyists -

Feeling stuck at home? Uninspired? Lonely? Is it hard to make new friends and keep up with your old friends?

This is the place for you - if you enjoy drawing and painting as a hobby or professionally, this is the place to meet other artists online and offline.

We do weekly zoom hangouts - drawing together, watching movies (retro, anime, bad movies) and learn to draw online. Occasionally, we meet in person and draw outside, or at cafes and public spaces. Sometimes play board games or sing karaoke!

Eventually we will no longer be on Meetup (as of May 2026) and migrate to an online platform like Discord.

Arts & Rec Toronto started in 2014 and has grown into a close-knit group of friends that were mainly from Toronto, Ontario.

Now we welcome artists globally (mainly proficient in English) and are curious about us Toronto Canucks :). We love our Americans too!
