Revival echoes the beginnings of stonecut printing in Puvirnituq in 1961, and bears witness to the recent resurgence of this art, made possible by Lyne Bastien and Maggie Napartuk through traveling workshops offered in communities across Nunavik since 2014.
Normee Ekoomiak (1948–2009) was an Inuk storyteller from Nunavik. Through his paintings, books and vibrant akinnamiutait (wall-hangings), he documented Inuit life, stories and traditions with joy and reverence.
Grotto showcases a selection of artworks generously donated by Bill Staubi to the Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG) in 2024. This exhibition pays homage to Staubi’s unwavering support for queer artists and his deep-rooted commitment to Ottawa’s vibrant contemporary art scene.
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, the CCF/FCMA is thrilled to present a collective exhibition of fine crafts at the Ottawa Art Gallery.
The Ottawa Art Gallery, Giant Tiger and Kids Help Phone are collaborating for Anti-Bullying Day 2025. In the spring of 2024, we ran two t-shirt design workshops for youth artists led by illustrator and comic-book artist Andy Akangah. Participants learned how to develop a design concept and digitize hand-drawn work for clothing.
Dialogue between contemporary and historical art can provide us with new ways to consider the past. Here, South-Asian Canadian artist Rachel Kalpana JAMES' immersive contemporary installation highlights a moment of East-West interaction in the early 20th century.
