To provide an educational program for our Members, build our endowment Fund, and support our grants program, we launched the Ottawa Talks Art & Architecture Series in 2017, which featured tours of public and private art collections and public and private architectural spaces. We introduced a second series in January 2018 featuring Artists’ Studio Visits.
In total, we offered 68 tours over this period and have decided to take a break. I’d like to thank the artists, arts organizations, and the Ottawa Art Society Members who took part in these tours for their enthusiasm and support.
