Today in TO: Toronto's News Podcast
News:News Commentary
Nuit Blanche is upon us, and the streets of Toronto will be once again filled with unique pieces of art. Today in TO host Dani Stover speaks with Heidi Reitmaier, the executive director of "Myseum of Toronto" about what installations people should check out and how one...or 52 to be accurate, are connected to the theme of the year.
After that, Dani Stover explores why we not only need to protect the arts in this city but the artists also. She is joined by Grace Lee Reynolds, the CEO, and Brooke Duval, the Executive Director of the Toronto Artscape Foundation. They tell Dani how hard it can be for artists to live and create in Toronto, what organizations like the Toronto Artscape Foundation do to protect the culture, and what you can do too.
Finally, producer Glenn Bragonier fills you in on the weird and interesting history of a building on Dupont that will soon be demolished, but at one point helped the Allies win World War II...amongst many other things.
