What we do
The ​art community is important to us, and we want to help serve it through this grass roots initiative.
​
It is our goal to provide a list of marquee art-shows in Ottawa (and other regions within Ontario).
Art lovers want to know about when and where they can go discover new artists or visit their favourite artists from a previous show, and artists want to know about art show opportunities, application deadlines, and participation fees.
​
We want to offer a resource that meaningfully connects the worlds of art lovers and artists, by giving you a list of exciting art shows taking place in and around Ottawa.
​
We also want art-lovers to know more about the incredible talent there is in the Ottawa art community and neighbouring regions. Ontario has a thriving art-scene, and it is exciting to be able to showcase some of the impressive artists we have participating at Ottawa art-shows, both big and small.
​
This is why we will also devote ourselves to spotlighting artists in various ways, from the works they create, to the classes they teach, to the exciting art-related events they organize.
​
We can't wait to tell you more!
