Project WARP is back for a fourth and final cohort, and applications are now open until Sept. 7 at 11:59pm.

In 2024, Debaser, The Framework, Produced By Youth, and The Moving Art Gallery all came together to create project WARP. Now, the project is currently on their third cohort, running from June 3 to July 12. Participants meet online and in-person at the Digital Arts Resource Centre and Club SAW for group sessions and one-on-one coaching sessions, and a shadowing mentorship.

After what felt like a long stretch of gloomy days, this weekend looks like clear skies and sunshine – and there is a ton going on to celebrate this fine weekend weather.

Last night, the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC) announced its winners for the sixth annual Capital Music Awards.

Pique is back for another round of bold, underground performances! On June 7, head to Arts Court (67 Nicholas St.) to experience Debaser’s boldest annual installment of the music and multi-arts festival series.

Pique returns to Arts Court this weekend for this year’s spring edition, including an added day of programming with an International Women’s Day focus.

As the weather gets colder, you may look for a way to bring a little life back into your step. Well, look no further: the 14th edition of Ottawa’s signature underground art party, Pique, is back on Sept. 28 at the Arts Court.

It always feel like we’ve made it to summer after hitting that first long weekend! This weekend, despite only last a couple shorts days, is jammed packed with events and activities. 

Calling all sound enthusiasts and experimental music lovers!

Building-wide and site-specific, Pique’s spring edition, which takes over all of Arts Court, will feature 15 boundary-pushing artists, lectures, exhibitions, and dance parties. Tickets are now on sale.

It’s a busy time of year with plenty to do! Whether you’re staying cozy inside at a holiday market or concert, or venturing out to check on the winter trails, have fun!

The winter edition of Pique arrives on Dec. 9, pulling out all the stops with socio-political themes, raging beats and lively visuals. The festival will feature over 20 artists across 10 different stages and exhibitions, spotlighting underground music and unique, experimental artworks to “foster conscious social engagement,” according to organizers Debaser.

The summer edition of Pique multidisciplinary arts festival, happening June 10 at the Arts Court, is the biggest and boldest edition of Pique yet!

Featuring an independent genre-defying lineup, Palingenesis promises a night of diverse musical talent from both Ottawa and beyond.
