PADDY LEUNG
Artist, Educator & Cultural Worker
I create participatory art projects and learning experiences that centre care, equity, and collective storytelling. My practice brings together art, education, and community engagement to support 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, racialized youth, and intergenerational connections.
Paddy Leung is a Toronto-based artist and arts educator working at the intersection of community care, cultural production, and social justice.
Their practice is rooted in collaboration, accessibility, and relationship-building, with a strong focus on 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion, youth engagement, and public participation.
Through workshops, exhibitions, and large-scale community projects, Leung creates spaces where people can connect, share knowledge, and imagine more caring futures together. Their work has been presented in galleries, schools, and public spaces in partnership with arts organizations, school boards, and community groups.
Available for Projects, Workshops & Commissions — across Canada & Internationally.

Art Show Statement
have you ever gone about your routine (maybe routine of non-routine) and thought,
“am i me?”
have you ever done or tried something you’ve never done before and thought,
“ah! so this is me, (?)”
SIDE PIECE, is a group show that asks artists to present a work that may aesthetically or thematically fall outside their more focused, noted methods of working- SIDE PIECE, is a small, humorous gathering of diverse curiosity that may have inspired, are a remnant of, or were made directly opposed to larger creative motives-
this gathering is meant to ask why things exist, why these notions were necessary (if at all?), how they manifest, and how they contribute to thinking and feeling moving forward.
