About

The Koffler Centre of the Arts is a charitable arts organization in Toronto. The Koffler serves a broad audience through exhibitions in its gallery space, literary programs, educational programs for school children and theatre shows. This year, the Koffler Centre of the Arts is marking its 40th year of cultural contribution to the city.

The Koffler Gallery is open to the public, free of charge. The Koffler is dedicated to making contemporary art accessible to audiences of diverse backgrounds, ages, and walks of life and gives a voice to young Canadian and international artists. We explore some of the most pressing issues through ideas based programming, engaging with partners and the community.

As a Jewish organization, we value – and aim to foster – social justice, equality and inclusiveness while nurturing a passion for learning and understanding. We position Jewish identity in conversation with diverse perspectives and global voices to examine complex issues in a respectful, constructive way. We accomplish this through exhibitions, performances, discussions, publications and digital initiatives.

These principles support the Koffler’s engagement with the best contemporary creative minds in producing and presenting art that provides common ground for experiences shaping our shared cultural life and defining our social values.
