Swim Drink Fish

Our community in Toronto came together to celebrate art, music, and clean water in a big way!
More than 275 supporters gathered to attend a special evening that raised over $485,000 towards swimmable, drinkable, fishable water for everyone. Since its inception in 2012, Canadian artists have donated over 250 works of art to our auctions, raising over 3.5 million dollars.

It was a fabulous night in Toronto with a culinary performance with signature canapes and cocktail by Roger Mooking.

Mooking has made a mark as a multimedia artist, drawing inspiration from his family roots, love for people, and travels. His various exhibits with City of Toronto’s Awakenings, won an award in 2022 from the American Association for State and Local History. His piece featured at this year’s Artists for Water entitled “free. Dumb rains.” was inspired by the Swim Drink Fish movement, and is complimented by a food performance. Part storytelling and part visual art, his double-sided auction item is an attempt to reconcile the absurdity of the connection between freedom and water.
