SUPPORTING, INSPIRING, AND CHAMPIONING WOMEN LIVING IN THE ARTS
The Heliconian Club, also known as Toronto Heliconian Club, is the oldest association of its kind in Canada and operates as a not-for-profit organization. It was founded in 1909 to give women in the arts and letters an opportunity to meet socially and intellectually. Members range from women who have earned great distinction to those in the early stages of their careers.
In addition, the Club offers many activities for members and the public, including a Concert Series, Salon Series and a weekly Sketch Group. Heliconian Hall serves as an art gallery with Exhibits by Club members changing monthly. The Club also hosts a popular Literary Lecture Series featuring Canadian writers talking about their latest work.
Part of rural Toronto when it was built in 1876, Heliconian Hall–designated a National Historic Site in 2008–is situated among leading art galleries in today’s Yorkville. Original elements of the Carpenter’s Gothic board-and-batten church and its rose window have been maintained and restored. The air-conditioned hall with its vaulted ceiling provides stellar acoustics, making the Club ideal for musical and dramatic presentations. For information on renting and availability, see the Hall Rental page.
