Toronto Toy Riot is a two day artist-run pop art expo, focusing on the world of hand made, small run independently produced toys and pop culture artworks. Also known as Designer Toys or Art Toys, the Independent toy community is a broad network of artists, designers, hobbyists and enthusiasts working across a variety of materials and form factors. Many of the artists working in these spaces are interdisciplinary, also producing zines, prints and various assortments of ephemera.
