"Members of the group Artists Against Artwashing have alleged that the Azrieli Foundation is 'resourced by this genocide and land theft', referring to the ongoing war in Gaza."
"AAA has claimed that the Azrieli Foundation is 'deeply embedded in the Canadian arts landscape while funding Zionist lobby groups including Honest Reporting Canada whose advocacy dehumanises Palestinians in Canadian media'."
"The AAA and its supporters have been calling on TAF to cut ties with the Azrieli Foundation since March 2024, delivering a letter signed by more than 450 artists and cultural workers."
The Azrieli Foundation will cease its support of the Toronto Arts Foundation after protests by Artists Against Artwashing. The protests allege that the foundation is linked to genocide and land theft in Gaza. Despite claims from both organizations that the funding termination is unrelated to the protests, AAA views this as a victory after two years of organizing. The group has called for TAF to sever ties with the Azrieli Foundation, which funds several prominent Canadian cultural organizations and is accused of supporting Zionist lobby groups.
