Exhibitions
In the Galleries
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, the CCF/FCMA is thrilled to present a collective exhibition of fine crafts at the Ottawa Art Gallery.
In this exhibition we explore the critical and creative practices of Jeff Thomas, Urban-Iroquois photographer, curator, activist, and cultural theorist.
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.
The Firestone Collection of Canadian Art is a significant art collection that spans the modern period and includes work from a wide range of Canadian art styles, geographical regions, and periods. The two largest themes represented in the collection are landscape and abstraction.
Around the OAG
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.
This work delves into the beauty of flowers and their Fibonacci connections, as well as cosmic fascination and intertwining Earth and lunar rhythms.
Come to the Jackson Café to discover two large murals, featuring the digital artwork of Eric Chan (aka eepmon).
This piece is a digitization of a birch bark biting that has then been reproduced through risograph printing. The biting can be interpreted as chickadees flying around flowers.
Touring Exhibitions
Dark Ice demonstrates the intersections between the unique artistic, studio, and land-based practices of Leslie Reid of Ottawa, ON, and Robert Kautuk of Kangiqtugaapik (Clyde River), NU.
