The annual gala fundraiser for the Toronto Arts Foundation became a theater for protest against its ties to the Azrieli Foundation, which funds cultural institutions in Canada.
Artists Against Artwashing disrupted the celebrations to launch a national campaign protesting the Azrieli Foundation's funding of cultural organizations amid the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Protesters blocked the stage with banners denouncing genocide and land theft, highlighting the anger over the Azrieli Foundation's financial involvement in the cultural sector.
The protest at The Carlu is part of a broader 'No Arms in the Arts' initiative, reflecting growing discontent regarding funding from war profiteering organizations.
