About
Trinity Square Video
Land Acknowledgement
Trinity Square Video is located on traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, Huron- Wendat and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant. This area, located in present-day Tkaronto (Toronto), remains the home and meeting place to many Indigenous people, so it’s critical that we continue to acknowledge the original caretakers and keepers as those who remain guests to this territory.
Our History
Founded in 1971, Trinity Square Video is one of Canada’s first artist-run centres and the country’s oldest media arts centre. We are a not-for-profit, charitable organization dedicated to supporting artists working in video, film, digital media, and emerging technologies.
For over 50 years, TSV has provided access to production tools, technical training, and curatorial opportunities for Toronto’s diverse artistic communities. From early video activism to today’s hybrid digital practices, our space has championed experimentation, accessibility, and equity in the media arts.
We continue to nurture artists, curators, and collectives through residencies, exhibitions, and mentorships that reflect our commitment to cultural resilience, intersectionality, and community impact. Our programming is shaped by artists and informed by critical self-reflection, collaboration, and care.
Mission Statement
Trinity Square Video is a space to reimagine media arts.
We support artists and curators through equitable access to tools, space, and resources for production, education, and presentation. TSV fosters interdisciplinary exploration and diverse storytelling while centering equity, inclusion, and radical hospitality across all areas of our work.
Our mission is to build a thriving, artist-led media arts community that reflects and amplifies the voices of Toronto and beyond.
