Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Offers Free Sunday Admission for All
TORONTO, January 24, 2019 — The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Toronto will introduce TD Community Sundays beginning February 24, 2019 with the opening of new winter exhibitions. MOCA Toronto invites all to enjoy free admission at the museum one Sunday each month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
TD Community Sundays are made possible by TD Bank Group through its corporate citizenship platform, The Ready Commitment. “We are proud and excited to support the winter program at MOCA, which will help amplify diverse voices and timely perspectives from contemporary artists,” says Andrea Barrack, Globe Head, Sustainability and Corporate Citizenship, TD. “We hope through these free Sundays more people can experience contemporary art and connect to it as they reflect on the story, and message, behind the different work. At TD, we believe that arts and cultural events that are reflective of all voices are important for building a more inclusive tomorrow.”
The first TD Community Sunday on February 24, 2019, coincides with the new phase of exhibitions featuring the works of Chantal Akerman and Basma Alsharif, running February 14 to April 14, 2019. TD Community Sundays include guided tours of the exhibitions on view. Additional, dynamic program offerings such as local collaborations and family activities will also take place on some of these Sundays for all to participate in.
