We are from small high school art/film/photography departments in the suburbs of Toronto Canada. Powerful communities that work together to create a safe space and positive understanding of the world in order to create and make the most of amazing local, national, and international opportunities.
We are perhaps best known for Portfolio Day, which has generated at time of writing more than $130 Million Dollars CDN in scholarship offers to our grade 12 students in the past 12 years.
Portfolio Day at ESACA may be the largest portfolio event of its kind in history, with up to 150 post-secondary school representatives participating in a day long process where as many as 85 of our schools' grade twelve students install curated solo exhibitions throughout the first floor of our school. We have had more than four thousand visitors - members of the public, collectors, gallery owners, press, family and friends join us in the evening to see the show, which includes several thousand art works.
Please consider donating and support our small high school art program and our amazing and brave and talented young art students with their portfolio development and art school and art world dreams. Our annual school art department budget is $7000 with our department being responsible for several hundred students at a time - meaning that we are given about $10 per student per year. The remainder of our funds are acquired from private donations and we require them to continue.
You can donate and receive a Canadian tax receipt here:
