Kapisanan Philippine Centre for Arts & Culture is an award-winning, community-rooted arts hub that has nurtured Filipino creativity in Toronto since 1989.
For more than three decades, we have supported young artists of Filipino descent through culturally grounded mentorship, arts education, and opportunities for professional and personal growth. Today, Kapisanan continues to evolve as a vibrant intergenerational space—where emerging and established artists, newcomers, and long-time community members come together to create, learn, and celebrate our shared heritage.

With a renewed vision for connection, cultural pride, and community leadership, Kapisanan is rebuilding its home as a place where Filipino arts thrive—and where future generations feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Our Programs

Throughout KAPISANAN’s award-winning thirty-six-year history, it has maintained its vision as a community hub supporting young artists of Filipino/a/x descent in the GTA. Through our programs, workshops and events, we amplify the work of Filipino/a/x artists, emerging artists and LGBTQ2S artists. We offer mentorship opportunities with established members of the Filipino arts community, a variety of creative workshops, professional arts development and a safe space for the exploration of cultural heritage through the arts.
