Join us for an evening where art, community, and purpose come together to raise funds for a public art installation.
About this Event

On June 25, the Centretown BIA is taking over the Ottawa Art Gallery for a one-night fundraising event in support of a community arts initiative in Centretown.

At the centre of the night is a live Art Battle, where local artists will be paired with youth from Operation Come Home to co-create original works in real time. The winning piece will go on to inspire a permanent public art installation in the neighbourhood.

This is more than an event. It’s an opportunity to be part of something that will live on in Centretown.

What to expect:

  • A live Art Battle featuring local artists
  • DJ Nycky and music throughout the evening
  • A curated local vendor market
  • Food included with your ticket
  • A licensed bar + non-alcoholic beverages by Ananda Elixirs
  • A poetry and visual installation exploring themes of mental health

As part of the evening, our Executive Director SabriNa Lemay’s book, Truth iN Motion, will be featured through a spoken word and visual installation. All proceeds from book sales will go directly toward the community arts initiative. If you’re unable to attend, purchasing a copy of the book is another meaningful way to support.

Event Details:

Date: June 25

Time: 5:00PM to 9:00PM

Location: Ottawa Art Gallery (Alma Room)

Tickets:

$20 per person

All proceeds from ticket and book sales support the community arts initiative.

Come for the energy. Stay because it means something.
