This is the 6^th exhibition mounted at OAG with art created by Creative Space artists. Creative Space is an ongoing program and part of a well-established partnership between the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Center and OAG. Educators use art as a tool for wellness and social inclusion by offering weekly in person and online classes.

This exhibition includes imaginative depictions and unique lenses into the artists’ view of the natural world through landscape, cityscape, and still life painting in acrylic, watercolour, and oil, as well as photography, pastel drawing, bronze sculpture, and sculptural assembly.
