An update from Toyon

Our present global situation has made it necessary to cancel the Toyon Volume 66 Release Party scheduled for March 25. While we are saddened by the news, we strongly believe that this is the right thing to do. It is important that we all do our part to flatten the curve and protect our most vulnerable. 

We remain committed to honoring our artists, staff, and all the wonderful people who contributed to the creation of volume 66. It's back to the drawing board as we brainstorm new ideas for how to celebrate this amazing achievement in the multilingual creative arts . Stay tuned for another update. 

​In the meantime: Stay safe! We'll pull through this together!

Sincerely,
The Toyon Staff
