The annual ArtsSmarts eXchange took place on December 2, 2009 in Toronto, Ontario.

More than 70 ArtsSmarts partners, educators, artists, community organizers and arts councils from across the country came together for a one-day learning event specific to the ArtsSmarts approach to teaching and learning.

The ArtsSmarts eXchange offered intensive education, skills building sessions and networking for those new and experienced to ArtsSmarts.  Featuring a series of workshops, as well as special inspiration sessions on some of the incredible ArtsSmarts projects, partnership and model innovations from across the country, attendees left the event re-energized and re-invigorated.

The ArtsSmarts eXchange was funded in-part by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.  We also thank the Ontario Arts Council, Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage, and the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation for their support and Direct Energy for providing onsite volunteers.
