About us
Our goal is to offer affordable art events and communication tools for moms and families. We offer the following:
Cultural tours and workshops for parents and children in the Toronto area.
Mom's Galleries: for a minimal fee parents get a professional looking website displaying image galleries with complete control over the contents of the site.
Mom' Cards: Business cards for moms and relatives showing images of the little ones and carrying titles of "Oliver's Mom", the perfect way to exchange contact information quickly, anywhere.Since our first tour in August 2008, more than 500 moms took part in our events. We partner with museums and galleries in Toronto to offer the best of the city. In November 2009 we launched Mom's Cards and Mom's Galleries, offering business cards for moms and personal online galleries with professional software and design for a small yearly fee. We strive to offer the latest technology and design so that moms can share their little ones moments easily in an elegant visual design.
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.
