Host a fabulous event and<\/em>\u00a0make a positive social impact in the\u00a0community?\u00a0Yes please!<\/p>

Daniels Spectrum<\/a>, a community cultural hub\u00a0situated in Toronto’s\u00a0Regent Park neighbourhood, provides\u00a0a new approach to the\u00a0traditional event planning model: for every hosted event,\u00a0the venue reinvests a significant portion of proceeds back toward programs and services that support the community.\u00a0This\u00a0covers costs for many arts-based organizations, performances and exhibitions at Daniels Spectrum. What a great way to give back!<\/p>

Home to over 600 events in just 3 years,\u00a0the\u00a0space itself offers a warm, vibrant and eclectic feel with several rooms\u00a0from which to\u00a0choose. Whether your event is large or small,\u00a0capacity is likely\u00a0not an issue as the venue\u00a0accommodates guest\u00a0counts\u00a0from 40 to 400. The outdoor courtyard\u00a0makes for a fabulous addition, particularly rare among downtown Toronto event spaces.<\/p>

Managed by the folks at Artscape<\/em> –\u00a0an internationally recognized and award winning not-for-profit organization\u00a0–\u00a0the event\u00a0was\u00a0filled with performances, delicious food and a showcase of social enterprise businesses all operating within the\u00a0event planning industry. \u00a0EventSource was thrilled to be a part of it!<\/p>

Special thanks to\u00a0Kristin Foster Photography<\/a> for sending along the photos.<\/p>
