About The Heliconian Club

The Heliconian Club, a non-profit organization, is one of the oldest associations of its kind in Canada, founded in 1909 to give women in the arts and letters an opportunity to meet socially and intellectually. Members range from women who have earned great distinction to those in the early stages of their careers. In addition, the Club offers many activities for members and the public, including a Concert Series, Salon Series and a weekly Life Drawing Program. Heliconian Hall serves as an art gallery with exhibits by Club members that change monthly. The Club also hosts a popular Literary Lecture Series featuring Canadian writers talking about their latest work. Part of rural Toronto when it was built in 1876, Heliconian Hall–designated a National Historic Site in 2008–is situated among leading art galleries in today’s Yorkville. Original elements of the Carpenter’s Gothic board-and-batten church and its rose window have been preserved. The air-conditioned hall with vaulted ceiling provides stellar acoustics, making the Club ideal for musical and dramatic presentations.
