Looking for culture in the Canada's Capital? Why not take the time to explore Ottawa's eclectic mix of art galleries? Most are free and all are stimulating, often powerful, and usually meaningful.
There is a rich and diverse artistic community in Ottawa, Canada -- the nation's capital city. And contrary to popular belief, the enjoyment of art doesn’t require any specific knowledge or deep-rooted understanding. Art, through its creator, only asks that the viewer be open to the experience.
Visual arts – sculpture, video, painting, mixed media, photography – have the ability to awaken your senses. If done well, a piece of art evokes emotion – a smile, a tear, a furrowed brow – and prompts discussion.
