Un groupe dédié aux travailleurs culturels, pour le partage et la coordination de ressources communautaires à Ottawa, en réponse à COVID-19.
Ce groupe a pour but de rassembler les travailleurs culturels et d’aider à répondre aux préoccupations spécifiques auxquelles nous pourrions être confrontés en tant que communauté. L’objectif est de continuer à s’organiser au niveau communautaire et de s’assurer que les membres les plus vulnérables de notre communauté ont accès à la nourriture, au logement, aux soins de santé et à d’autres nécessités.
Mais cela va au-delà de ça, y compris différentes façons de se soutenir mutuellement en tant qu’artistes pendant cette période. C’est un lieu où l’on peut afficher des demandes d’aide ou de soutien, ainsi qu’un lieu où l’on peut partager des opportunités et des ressources qui peuvent être utiles et solidaires.

Voici Maelström 1 (90 x 36 x 36 cm- 2020), une création du sculpteur montvalois, Béla Simó.
Un maelström est un tourbillon formé par l’action d’un courant très puissant. Il désigne également un mouvement impétueux qui entraîne de la confusion, des turbulences, un désordre dans les pensées ou les émotions. Maelström illustre donc la volonté de l’artiste de rester serein malgré cette période de turbulences sans précédent que nous vivons actuellement.

Here is Maelström 1 (90 x 36 x 36 cm- 2020), a creation by the Montvalois sculptor, Béla Simó.
A maelstrom is a whirlpool formed by the action of a very powerful current. It also indicates an impetuous movement which involves confusion, turbulence, disorder in thoughts or emotions. Maelström therefore illustrates the artist's desire to remain serene despite this unprecedented period of turbulence that we are currently experiencing.

Since we had fewer appointments booked, Suzanne, Carmel, Solange and I decided to open up the paint throwing to passersby by bringing some of our own leftover house paint. And throw they did!
Since less people chose to dribble the paint on the board while it was flat and more people chose throwing against the propped up board the visual aspect is quite different this time. There are more splashes and lines of dripping paint.
Throwing paint at full force was cathartic not only for the throwers but for the onlookers as well.
We appreciate the NECTAR for giving us the space to bring this project to the New Edinburgh neighbourhood and Arts Health Network for covering the costs of the materials.2nd Edition July 3rd

We’ll be joined for the discussion by Janet Sellery of Sellery Health and Safety—a former stage manager and one of Canada’s leading experts in health and safety for the arts."ANNOUNCING: #FringeAtHome; an online festival
JUNE 25-JULY 4
Despite not being able to gather in person this year, the thought of a June without Fringe was too much to bear! So we’ve partnered with local artists and arts & community organizations – Capital Pride, Ottawa Storytellers, Ottawa School of Theatre, TACTICS – to present a series of free digital events streamed directly to your device.
Full lineup: ottawafringe.com/fringeathome/
On June 8th, I set up a 4ft x 8ft primed wooden board in my driveway for people to come and throw paint at it or drop it on. They had to make an appointment in order to make it a social distancing safe project. It was an an experience that left me grateful and awed.
It took a full week for the many layers of paint to fully dry in my garage. I enjoyed going to the garage every now and then and running my hands over the many layers of paint. The texture is fabulous. It made me feel a close connection to all who participated as I remembered who put what layer on. It also gave me a glimpse into their homes through the colours of their wall paint as well as an idea of their reality through the words they gave me to write on the board before the project started.
From ‘Mad’ to ‘Hopeful’, ‘Really Tired & Sad’ to ’Accomplished’. Everyone is going through this confinement differently. Frustrations were yelled out when throwing paint while others poured it on in complete calm and silence. Entire families came to participate, high school and elementary students I’ve taught art to, teachers, artists and neighbours.
It was a transformative experience as I saw words disappear; some peaking through until near the end. At times I saw figures dancing; a human form walking away from an explosive landscape; a dinosaur fossil and in the end a happy face and a flamingo.
I can stare at it for hours.
Taken as a whole, it doesn't look like anything particularly beautiful. It is on closer inspection that one notices the woven ties, the intersecting lines and the colours that blend… it is the texture of a community.
Le 8 juin dernier, j'ai installé un panneau de bois de 4 pi x 8 pi dans mon entrée. J’ai invité plusieurs personnes pour qu’elles viennent jeter de la peinture sur le panneau ou simplement la verser. Ils ont dû prendre rendez-vous afin d'en faire un projet de distanciation sociale sécuritaire. Ce fut une expérience qui m'a touchée et impressionnée.
Il a fallu une semaine complète pour que les nombreuses couches de peinture sèchent complètement dans mon garage. J'aimais de temps en temps aller au garage et passer mes mains sur les nombreuses couches de peinture. La texture est fabuleuse. Cela m'a permis de ressentir un lien étroit avec tous ceux et celles qui ont participé, car je me souvenais qui avait mis quelle couche de peinture. Sans le vouloir ces personnes ont levé le voile sur l’intérieur de leurs maisons à travers les couleurs de leur peinture et une idée de leur réalité à travers les mots qu'ils m'ont donné à écrire au tableau avant le début du projet.
De «fou» à «plein d’espoir», «vraiment fatigué et triste» à «accompli». Tout le monde traverse différemment cette isolation. Certaines frustrations ont été criées en jetant de la peinture tandis que d'autres ont versé dans un calme et un silence absolus. Des familles entières sont venues participer, des élèves du secondaire et du primaire auxquels j'ai enseigné l'art, des enseignantes, des artistes et des voisins.
Ce fut une expérience transformatrice quand j'ai vu les mots disparaître; certains mots restants jusqu'à la fin. Parfois, des images apparaissaient. Je voyais des personnages danser; une forme humaine s'éloignant d'un paysage explosif; un fossile de dinosaure et finalement un visage joyeux et un flamant rose.
Je peux le regarder pendant des heures. Je ne savais pas trop si je voulais y ajouter quelque chose mais finalement j'ai décidé d'ajouter des murs presque transparents signifiant un plan d'étage. Une certaine restriction de vivre entre nos murs aussi longtemps mais suffisamment transparent pour ne pas nous retenir.
À première vue, on dirait que le tableau n’est pas particulièrement beau. C’est en regardant de plus près qu’on remarque les liens tissés, les lignes qui croisent et les couleurs qui se marient…c’est la texture d’une communauté.(While Social Distancing)

Our partners Ottawa Music Industry Coalition are looking for participation in this task force for reopening live music venues safely.As Ontario enters Phase 2 of the recovery plan, it is important that all businesses are ready. While Ottawa Public Health directives state that live music is prohibited at this point, OMIC is currently working closely with the City of Ottawa’s Art, Heritage Development and Cultural Development and Initiatives Department, Public Health and Ottawa Special Events as a Working Group focused on creating best-practice protocols and models for the reopening of our live music venues. Our working group will be one of the international groups working in collaboration with Music Venue Trust, Music Cities Together, and Music Policy Forum’s REVS (Re-Open Every Venue Safely) Pilot Project. REVS is a national campaign to develop and disseminate action plans and budgets rooted in a hyper-pragmatic understanding of the challenges ahead. OMIC is also striking a Venues Task Force, which will consist of OMIC members, who will help advise the REVS Working Group. If you are interested in taking part, please contact Jamie, the Executive Director, at jamie@ottawamic.com.
Together, we will work to share information and resources with each other as we develop our locally-based workplans and protocols for opening up music venues safely.

Just learned about this:
According to a recent survey 64% of artists and creative workers are unemployed! Every opportunity to perform, showcase or display in person has vanished for the time being. The creative community is deeply wounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, I’ve joined RAW Artists in an effort to help fundraise directly to artists for a project titled, The National Arts Drive.
On Saturday, June 20, 2020, we’re calling all artists in every creative medium to showcase from their front lawns, driveways, balconies, stoops or studios. We’re inviting the community at-large to take a drive and experience the creative culture living in their own neighborhood. The driving experience will be paired with a mobile website and interactive map. As drivers approach an installation or performance they can donate directly to the artist, follow them on social media and/or flag their online shop for future purchase.
If you or a creative you know if interested in joining this movement and raising awareness and financial support for artists, sign up and drop your map marker at [NationalArtsDrive.com](nationalartsdrive.com/)
Let's fill our city's front yards and balconies with the arts.
Nightswimming has been deeply listening to the voices of BIPOC artists. In listening to these voices we know that passive solidarity is not enough. We need meaningful actions to make meaningful change.
As a company that is devoted to commissioning and developing new Canadian plays, musical works and dance, we believe that stories, and the artists who tell them, can change the world.
One action that Nightswimming will do right now is offer a $20,000 commission to a Black and/or Indigenous artist to create a full-length work.
This is just one thing we will do. We urge our colleagues in positions of privilege and power to consider what meaningful actions they can take today.
