So much has happened in Ottawa, the world, and our own lives during the first three months of 2022, and we've been on the down low like many of you.

We’ve taken some of the time to process everything and to reflect. It’s been so many starts and stops in the last two years. We moved into a new space in February 2020, ready to go, and then everything changed with the pandemic.

During the first week of spring, as the days get longer, and as we cautiously open up, we feel very lucky to be here and (cautiously) optimistic. We’re coming out of hibernation with a new sense of purpose.

As we enter year 7, we’re ready to reconnect again with all of you in-person. We’ll draw on our strengths in DIY, learning, community and experimentation in an institutionally-driven town. We will continue to champion and amplify underrepresented and emerging voices. We’re ready to embrace our alternative model of arts engagement and share our learnings.

We’ll be posting on the blog more often, and newsletters will come frequently, our way of reaching out again and share opportunities to get involved. As always, thank you everyone for all your support during this time. Stay tuned for what’s next!
