A note on Mayworks

Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts is a multi-disciplinary arts festival that celebrates working-class culture. Founded in 1986 by the Labour Arts Media Committee of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council, Mayworks is Canada's largest and oldest multi-disciplinary labour arts festival. Mayworks' goal is to develop an audience for the arts among working people and to create a forum to present working-class culture to non-union audiences.

The Mayworks festival was built on the premise that workers and artists share a common struggle for decent wages, decent working conditions and a living culture. Mayworks' goal is to promote the interests of cultural workers and trade unionists and to move working-class culture off the margins of cultural activity and onto centre stage.
