In the Industry is a Scarborough Arts program series that provides emerging artists and creatives with opportunities to explore career possibilities, learn from arts professionals, and build relationships within the Scarborough arts community. Through a series of sessions with professionals across the arts and cultural sectors, participants can gain insight into different career paths, exchange ideas, and connect with peers.

Kicking off this season of In the Industry, Scarborough Arts is partnering with the Doris McCarthy Gallery where curator Sandy Saad will lead a tour of the exhibition Cartographies of Longing, discussing her curatorial practice and career journey.

Following the tour, Scarborough artists Erika DeFreitas and Kwame Delfish will join Saad for a networking session. Over food and refreshments, all three will be available to engage with and answer questions from participants, offering informal mentorship and sharing their experiences. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet and talk with each other and to expand their own network of peers.
