Arraymusic

What Arraymusic does

Arraymusic is a Toronto-based non-profit contemporary music organization that produces performances, commissions new works, runs community workshops, and operates Array Space Studio, a multi-use performing arts venue offering professional recording, video, and livestreaming services for external rental clients. Its programming includes seasonal curated productions, ensemble concerts, co-presentations, Ensemble-in-Residence partnerships, and the "A Seat at the Table" community workshop series. Creative direction is anchored by Co-Curator/Composer-in-Residence appointments (Bekah Simms and Monica Pearce), and the organization extends its reach beyond the physical venue through a podcast, an e-zine, and streaming platforms.

The organization serves contemporary music audiences, composers, and musicians in Toronto and, via digital channels, a broader listening audience. Revenue is generated through studio rental fees, ticket sales, and donations/grants — a standard small non-profit performing arts model. Operationally, Arraymusic runs with a small team of approximately six employees, indicating a lean organizational structure and limited fixed cost base, but also limited capacity to absorb demand shocks or scale programming rapidly.
