Ottawa, get ready to express your appreciation! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Gratitude Ottawa Arts Project, a month-long celebration of the people, places, and experiences that make our city truly special. Thank you to Awesome Ottawa for kickstarting this by choosing us as their monthly recipient!

What’s the Project About?

Throughout February, we’re on a mission to collect 1,000 stories of gratitude from Ottawa residents. These heartfelt expressions will be transformed into a large-scale art installation, weaving together the fabric of our community’s appreciation.

How Will Your Stories Come to Life?

Your words of gratitude will become art in various ways:

Some stories may inspire individual pieces of artwork

Others might be written directly onto the walls of the installation

Many stories will be published on our website or in a book
