The not-for-profit Heliconian Club brings together women living and working in the arts, plays an active role in wider community initiatives, and maintains an outreach program. It was founded in 1909 as a place for women working in the arts to meet, exchange ideas, and develop as artists. The Club owns the Heliconian Hall, a National Heritage Site located in the Yorkville neighbourhood of downtown Toronto. The Hall has been the home of the Heliconian Club since 1923, and is regularly used as a performance venue and art gallery. It continues to be a welcoming space for creative women in the literary world and in a wide range of artistic disciplines.
