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 from 2017 to 2023, and would like to thank the artists, arts organizations, and the Ottawa Art Society Members who took part in these tours for their enthusiasm and support.
