About Toronto Animated Image Society - Tais

Milestones: Incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1990, TAIS opened our first studio space in 2002. We became a registered charity in 2012, and then in 2013 we moved to our current home, a 1560 sq. foot space located on Dufferin Street north of Dupont, in downtown Toronto's north / west-end. This facility allows us to better facilitate artists' research and creation, and deliver public outreach programs. As a production centre, TAIS supports creation by our members and guest artists. We commission new animation through special projects and residency programs, present curated programs of animation art by artists from Toronto, across Canada, and around the world, and each year we invite guest artists to screen their work, give lectures, and teach workshops. TAIS prioritizes the involvement of artists from diverse practices, backgrounds, and communities.
