Our yearly alt9 Art Show with Xpace Cultural Centre has been modified again this year due to COVID-19, but that hasn't held us back in our celebration of our alternative school student creativity! The nine Toronto District School Board alternative high schools in the alt9 family of schools are leaders in student-centred education and have been launching pads for many emerging artists and designers in Toronto and beyond.
