Cantoo City’s Advent Calendar of Creativity

24 Days of Art, Joy, and Community Stories

This community based, annual tradition brings together artists, makers, storytellers, and creatives from across Canada to share meaningful moments throughout the holiday season.

For 24 days, 24 individuals contribute original creatives and personal stories inspired by lived experiences and the local communities they call home. These daily features offer simple moments to pause, reflect, and connect with others through creativity.

We are proud to see this tradition continue to grow as part of our commitment to art, wellness, and community spirit. It reflects our values and our belief in the power of human creativity.

The open call for 2026 edition will be announced on September 8, 2026.

We welcome collaboration proposals from individuals, art groups, and community organizations across Canada. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook , or subscribe to our newsletter for updates and submission details.

2025 Edition | Community Partner: Sauga Plein Air Group

Our second edition of the Advent Calendar of Creativity launched in December 2025, developed in collaboration with the Sauga Plein Air Group. Each day featured artwork and reflections inspired by Mississauga’s parks, neighbourhoods, and shared spaces. The calendar offered followers a daily opportunity to pause, reflect, and celebrate the creative spirit that connects us as a community.

Thank you to the storytellers and everyone followed along. Your stories helped bring this project to life and continue to inspire what’s ahead.

24 Days. 24 Stories. 1 Community.
