Devon Elke, SKETCH Monthly Donor
“I grew up studying and making theatre throughout my youth and into my 20s. And that practice, that experience, it molded and saved me in profound ways. And so I really believe in the transformative power of programs like SKETCH.”
Read our interview with Devon to learn what she means by “giving past the point of comfort,” and the moment she decided to become a monthly donor at SKETCH.
I came from my home town in search of a place just like SKETCH. I’m glad I’ve found it. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s helped me in infinite ways.
Keep SKETCH going forever.
I’ve accessed an amazing community of friends and artists who have and continue to connect me to opportunities. They encourage my craft, and empower me to teach and share what I know.
I really wish there were more places like SKETCH. There are countless youth in our communities who would benefit from the abundance of opportunities here.
I’m beyond thankful for every day I get to work in such a creative and welcoming environment.

For over 27 years, SKETCH Working Arts has been committed to fostering a safe and inspiring space where young people can explore their creativity, develop their skills, and find their voice.
SKETCH is at a critical juncture. We are facing significant financial challenges that have led us to make difficult but necessary decisions, including reducing our operations and staff.
We are now partnering with community artists who will be in the space soon to open the doors to the SKETCH community! Stay tuned to our social media for announcements on upcoming sessions and further updates. Be sure to follow us @sketchtoronto.
Visit our website at www.sketch.ca/donate/ to make a one-time or recurring donation. Gifts of $100, $50 or even $20 can make a real difference and will receive a tax receipt.
Together, we can reset SKETCH Working Arts for a future where we continue to empower young people through the arts, with a renewed commitment to sustainability and impact.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
Sincerely,Board of DirectorsSKETCH Working Arts
