The Venue:

The Arts and Letters Club was formed in 1908 to provide a milieu for the free and vigorous exchange of ideas and opinions. 14 Elm Street is an historic building erected in 1891 by the St. George's Society. It is two blocks from the Yonge and Dundas subway stop, halfway between Bay Street and Yonge Street.

The Great Hall is a splendid room with a cathedral ceiling and a large fireplace. Its principal function is as a dining room, where guests eat at oak refectory tables designed to promote conversation. It is at these tables, day in and day out, that members of the artistic, literary, professional, and business communities meet to share opinions and perspectives, and to demonstrate that the art of good conversation is alive and flourishing.
