Studying creativity and culture illuminates the human experience and helps make sense of our world. By supporting the arts and humanities at U of T, you can help us develop the critical tools for imagining better ways of living.
For nearly two centuries, U of T has been home to artists, scholars and iconoclasts — from Northrop Frye and Marshall McLuhan to Margaret Atwood, Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Ondaatje — who have transformed disciplines, challenged cherished beliefs and inspired new generations of thought leaders. The arts and humanities are just as central to our research and teaching mission today. With your support, we will develop the fearless and empathetic thinking needed to navigate a world of rapid social, technological and environmental change.
