About Us
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!
