ICONIC ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT is Canada's leader in Black music & cultural programming, with a mandate to provide quality, theme oriented and safe entertainment. Established in 1999 as Ian Andre Espinet Entertainment, the Toronto based company has produced some of the most notable music, nightlife and lifestyle events of the past 20 years, creating internationally recognizable and trusted event brands at premier venues.
Guided by the principle that success requires not only VISION but RE:VISION, IAE endeavours not only to ADAPT to changes in culture and lifestyle, but to CREATE those changes.
At the core of over 1000 produced events, 100 plus concert performances and celebrity hosts appearances, stand a pantheon of Toronto-born - world renowned event brands including Amnesia, Soul Kitchen, Big People Fete, ICON, WhiteSands and The ONE.
These events have taken place at Canada's most coveted venues - from concerts at Toronto's legendary Guvernment/Koolhaus Complex and Rebel (Ink); upscale events at the historical Courthouse (Liberty Group), Fifth Social Club and York/Capitol & MET Event Theatres); to ice skating and live outdoor performances at Toronto's Waterfront Harbourfront Centre - to name but just a few.

20 years into it's journey, Iconic Arts' mission is more than a slogan... It is our mandate.
