Mayor Miller's Arts Luncheon

A group of friends and I, just 5 years ago, started our own non-profit organization called Manifesto Community Projects. Last year, we were invited to Mayor Millers Arts Awards lunch at Arcadian Court.

Lunch was awful, though the event was wonderful! And look what they had on all the tables... Not only did we get to eat these yummy little cakes at dessert, but people kept urging us to take some back home with us... This photo is post cab ride back to the studio, so mind the smushed icing...

Anyway, I won't get too much into the organization, or the awards, or how much I really miss Mayor Miller and his support of the arts and culture here in Toronto, since this is a cupcake blog... but I will say that Manifesto won the Arts for Youth Award that day – celebrating an individual, collective or organization that has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to engaging Toronto youth in the arts – nominated alongside Art Starts and Supporting Our Youth (SOY).
