Artists for Water

Thank You for Supporting Artists for Water 2025


We are still buzzing from the incredible energy at our Artists for Water Gala, where 250 dedicated supporters gathered at the Toronto Regional Board of Trade - “The Quay.” Together, we celebrated the vital role of art and music in protecting our waterways, raising over $435,000 for swimmable, drinkable, fishable water.

It was a night to remember, filled with delicious food from Oliver & Bonacini and wine from Stratus Vineyards, alongside the mesmerizing talents of Kevin Drew, Charles Spearin, and David French. We had a fantastic silent and live auction; our deepest thanks to Perry Tung for being at the podium for a thrilling Live Auction.

Your collective impact makes all the difference for clean water!
