The Riverdale Arts Market is part of the newly launched Duke Art Bar Community Events Hub, an initiative aimed at bringing fresh creative energy back into one of Queen East’s historic gathering spaces through art, community, and culture-driven events.

Our goal is simple:
Create a welcoming space where neighbors, artists, creatives, and visitors can gather, discover local talent, and enjoy a different kind of summer experience in the city.

In the heart of Toronto’s vibrant Queen Street East, a longtime neighbourhood staple is getting a fresh, creative pulse. The Duke Toronto is introducing The Art Bar, is a new series of artistic and community-driven events designed to re-energize the historic space, and reconnect it with the surrounding community.
