The City of Toronto announced Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with the Toronto Media Arts Cluster, a coalition of local arts charities, that would allow the group to move into its long-contested space on Lisgar St. in the city’s west end. Should TMAC fail to meet the provisions, it has agreed to vacate and give up all future legal claim on the space. TMAC promptly sued the city and UrbanCorp for breach of contract, and the space has gone empty ever since. Its bankruptcy trustee has since presided over routinely allowed TMAC access to the facility for practical purposes like fundraising tours. In December, TMAC filed a motion to occupy the space “on an interim basis” until a permanent legal resolution could be reached.
