The Crucible/Épreuve art exhibition adjacent to the SAW Gallery in Arts Court portrays a little-known episode in Ottawa’s cultural history. This uniquely Ottawa story involves artist Arthur II, the Lafayette Hotel, Le Hibou Coffeehouse, nudity, fire, a jail cell and finally, redemption. The show is the inaugural exhibition of the SAW Project Space and continues until April 6.

What do mealworms, artists, and researchers all have in common? Art. That’s just one theme captured in a two-day SCI_ART symposium hosted by SAW gallery this weekend in celebration of its 50th anniversary. This birthday event is packed with varied programming, including performances, panels, and book launches that celebrate collaborations between artists, scientists, academics, and nature.

If you’d rather wait til December 1 to get into the holiday mood, there are plenty of other options this weekend.

This is stadium stuff, so think about what this might be like in a small room at Arts Court. That this show still has tickets to sell is mind boggling.
