“The creative arts can serve many things to many people. But to me, it is an escape from the day-to-day hustle. It’s a mental reset from other worldly stresses. It’s an opportunity to use a different part of your mind and share an experience with others you would not have met otherwise. I am proud to be a part of Arts Etobicoke which makes these opportunities possible.”
Mark Ramalho, Board member, Arts Etobicoke
