About
Our Journey
38 started in 2020 as a custom design business, born out of lockdown with a room, a vision, and a pair of pants. What began with custom pieces grew into events, then exhibitions, then film. Over time, we evolved into a creative hub rooted in community and storytelling. We still do custom designs, but today 38 is known for the experiences and spaces we create for emerging artists to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Our Values & Vision
To establish mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations with various creative individuals, cultural institutions, arts organizations, academic institutions, government agencies, and other stakeholders to sustainably grow and expand the 38's scale, reach and impact over time.
01
A hub for creativity.
We believe in making space for art to just exist. 38. supports artists by giving their work somewhere to live and grow.
02
A community hub.
We believe no creative should have to do this alone. 38. brings people together so creativity feels like something shared, not something competed over.
03
A hub for connection.
We believe the strongest creative scenes are built on real connections. 38. brings artists, collaborators, and audiences together to build the kind of network that helps Toronto's creative community grow.
