WHAT WE DO

Arts Network Ottawa plays host to places of exchange and learning and is an essential source of opportunities and resources that advance a thriving local arts scene.

A thriving arts scene creates a community that people want to live in – one where ideas, talents and cultures are celebrated, and identities are shared.

ARTPRENEUR brings together leading local and national creative experts and business leaders to assist artists in building their creative professions.

The ARTicipate Endowment Fund was established in 2007 to support artistic programming in professional spaces at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

Cultural Pluralism in the Arts Movement Ontario engages Ottawa-based artists, arts organizations and Indigenous and diverse communities in promoting pluralism in the arts.

By providing support for the improvement and well-being of community cultural spaces and facilities, Arts Network Ottawa aims to get artists, musicians, and technicians working and venues welcoming audiences back again.

Arts Network Ottawa welcomes emerging and established visual artists of all ages to submit proposals for exhibitions in the Exhibition Space at Arts Network Ottawa.

Neighbourhood Arts Ottawa connects artists and community partners to collaborate on art projects within Ottawa neighbourhoods.

The Ottawa Arts Mentorship Program connects emerging and established artists and arts administrators in mentor-mentee relationships, expanding knowledge and networks.

Our learning opportunities and events focus on the professional business side of the arts, from audience development to financial management.

Young Arts Leaders Collective’s (YALC) mission is to provide professional services to young, emerging artists and arts administrators in Ottawa.
