OAG

This week, we had the pleasure of attending the Ottawa Art Gallery’s (OAG) opening reception for its new fall exhibitions.

From Sept. 30 to Oct. 16, The Ottawa Mission joins renowned artist Karen Bailey and Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG) to present “Portraits of The Ottawa Mission,” an exhibition that highlights the stories of the clients, employees, volunteers, service partners and donors of Ottawa’s oldest and largest homeless shelter in a new exhibition in the Sky Lounge of the OAG.

The Ottawa Art Gallery and The Ottawa Hospital introduce the TRIAS art prize, made up of three awards totalling $40,000.

Ottawa Art Gallery meets fundraising goal after a weekend full of fun art events.

The Ottawa Art Gallery’s (OAG) Give to Get Art Auction begins tonight with a Gala celebration, and continues all weekend with online bidding.

The GIVE TO GET ART Auction Opening Night Gala, back in person for the first time in two years, is Friday, May 27, from 6:30pm to midnight. You can purchase tickets for the VIP reception, which starts at 6:30pm for an extra hour of bidding, and includes food stations and cocktails. General admission starts at 7:30pm.

With daylight savings bringing an extra hour of sunshine to our wakeful time and the promise of light at the end of our workday, we hope this puts a little spring in your step ahead of the official change in seasons next weekend. There is plenty to do with that bit of extra pep this weekend, so without further ado, we give you: the Weekend Roundup.

The International Film Festival of Ottawa (IFFO) launches its in-person festival March 9, 2022, providing cinephiles and Ottawa locals with the opportunity to experience an eclectic mix of 50+ globally recognized shorts and features.

Seven of the 2021–2022 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) graduates from the University of Ottawa can finally publicly show their work in person as the Ottawa Art Gallery presents Abound until March 6.

We’ve somehow managed to make it through to the final month of 2020 and, for that, I think we all deserve a bit of celebration. As this weekend approaches, we’ve got a bunch of great ideas for you all as to how to properly go about it during this festive season.

Plastic Beach is an exhibition of work by Ottawa photographer John Healey, the winner of the 2020 Project X Photography Award. In this new exhibition, Healey presents a juxtaposition of beauty and unsightliness.

Ottawa in late spring cannot be beat. Take time this weekend to enjoy our 400 shades of green, maintain a safe distance, and please wash your hands
