Our goal is to offer affordable and cultural art events for moms and families in Toronto.Since our first tour in August 2008, more than 700 moms took part in our events. We partner with museums, galleries, artists and art events such as the Luminato, the Artist Project, Outdoor Art Show and the Toronto International Art Fair to offer the best of the city.

In 2009 Art Strollers Corporation founded the first "Art Strollers award" through Concordia University in Montreal. The award of $500 is given yearly to a single parent studying the arts.

We are a community friendly organization and welcome opportunities for sponsorships and donations to various events and charitable causes. Feel free to contact us with your proposal.
