BEING Studio

There is lots to do in town this weekend, whether you are looking for holiday magic, a learning experience, or a way to spice up next year’s Spotify Wrapped. Stay warm and stay safe, friends!

BEING Studio is a non-profit arts organization that supports artists with developmental disabilities who are interested in visual art and creative writing in Ottawa. Founded in 2002, the organization provides studio space, merchandising opportunities, and professional workshops for artists to learn new skills. The second season of SPEAK, a podcast produced by BEING studio, is a delightful romp through time.

It is Ottawa’s favourite season, friends: festival season! Coming hard on the heels of Jazzfest is our world-famous Bluesfest. Mix in the Lebanese Festival and the Stewart Park festival in Perth and you have got one perfect 613 weekend. Enjoy the sunshine and hit the beach, support a local patio, or take in any of the amazing musical acts happening around the city.

BEING Studio is proud to announce the Glamour Ball: Screening and Fundraiser event featuring six short films made by BEING artists and a documentary made about BEING Studio.

For 613 Day we’re sharing highlights CM Ottawa archives. Enjoy these talks with your morning coffee today.

Their current project involves getting work out of the crowded studio and into more public shows and community spaces.
