About

The Toronto School of Theology (TST) consists of seven theological colleges located at the University of Toronto.  It was over 50 years ago that TST was launched and plans were made for a 50th Anniversary celebration.

Protocols for the pandemic meant a postponement of many months – and the plans for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Toronto School of Theology (TST)  included a visual art exhibition. 

TST will now host the exhibition of the work of  24 artists at the beautiful Leonard Hall, Wycliffe College, 5 Hoskin Ave, Toronto – Thursday September 22 to Tuesday October 18.

The theme for the exhibition - Memory and Hope was chosen, inviting a look back and a look forward.  Careful work was done to find artists who had association with TST and a curatorial committee selected the works to be included.  

The intent of the exhibition is to capture something of the spirit of TST through creative artistic expression. In hosting this exhibit the community acknowledges the importance of the aesthetic in the life of faith and in the work of theology.  The arts are able to provide perspectives on theological themes that enrich both thought and experience. Our hope is that this exhibition will serve that end.
