Thank You for Supporting Artists for Water 2026
An incredible night for water!
To say this year’s Artists for Water Gala was phenomenal would be an understatement. Over 250 dedicated supporters gathered at The Design Exchange in downtown Toronto, where we celebrated the vital role of art and music in protecting our waterways and raised $417,000 for swimmable, drinkable, fishable water.
It was a night to remember, filled with delicious food and wine from Stratus Vineyards, alongside the mesmerizing talents of Steven Page and Kevin Fox. The energy in the room was electric during our auctions. Our deepest thanks to Perry Tung and Stephen Ranger for commanding the podium and leading such a thrilling Live Auction, as well as to all the contributing artists who donated their incredible work.
Your collective impact makes all the difference for clean water! Thank you for your unwavering support of Swim Drink Fish.
