We are accepting art submissions from Toby's Place Participants, Former Toby's Place Participants, and Toby's Place Volunteers. The deadline to apply is July 31st, 2025.
Screen-Printing | Toby's Place
Toby's Place has been working on a screen-printing activity at the program from late-April onward.
Screen-printing materials are being provided (while supplies last) and we have some plain shirts from our clothing swap room. We cannot guarantee shirts in every size, so we suggest that participants bring in a plain t-shirt or other plain clothing item to print their design on to. (In the event that participants don’t have a clothing item to bring in, and we do not have a clothing item to offer, participants are welcome to print their design on to paper instead.)
Open to 2SLGBTQIA+ youth ages 13-20, questioning youth ages 13-20, and their allied friends ages 13-20, living in Scarborough and the Greater Toronto Area.
