On November 25, 2014, ArtReach × Youth Opportunities Fund hosted their annual networking event, Funder Speed Dating. At this free networking event, participants had a chance to connect directly with representatives of various funding and granting organizations, learned about different funding opportunities, got some face-to-face time with potential funders, and gained knowledge to help overcome barriers in accessing funding.
Guest funders included: Kate Fraser, ArtReach; Okeima Lawrence, City of Toronto; Suzanne Paes, City of Toronto; Kristina Hausmanis, StreetARToronto; Ashton Shearer, CUE; Erin Kiyonaga, FACTOR; Carolyn Gloude, Ontario Arts Council; Janice Lambrakos, Ontario Arts Council; Tabish Surani, Youth Opportunities Fund/ Ontario Trillium Foundation; and Peter Kingstone, Toronto Arts Council.
