Pleasure Dome’s Executive Director Interviewed for Akimbo’s 25th Anniversary
Akimbo is celebrating its 25th anniversary by interviewing arts organizations in the community under a column called “Reflections.” Because Pleasure Dome was Akimbo’s very first client, we marked their first conversation in the series. Pleasure Dome’s Executive Director Lauren Fournier sat down to speak with Akimbo’s Terence Dick about our organization’s history and vision for the future.

New Toronto Works 2024
Pleasure Dome is pleased to announce the 2024 edition of New Toronto Works.

The screening will be followed by an in-person roundtable and Q&A with the artists.
