Join us for our Collaborative Co-Creation Labs: Designing a Shared Leadership Governance Model. CO-CREATION LAB SESSION DETAILS.


Co-Creation Labs are a crucial part of Co-Creating Arts Ottawa. Building on everything we've explored in the Learning Labs, these sessions will focus on bringing your insights to life.

In these 4.5 hour interactive sessions, you will:

  • Collaboratively design a governance model that ensures inclusive decision-making.

  • Explore advocacy, artist leadership, and redesigning volunteerism in arts governance.

  • Engage in creative activities like café-style speed dating, visual storytelling, and consensus decision-making to build a shared leadership structure for Arts Ottawa.

  • Co-create a Governance Charter that reflects community values, ensuring leadership that is accountable, transparent, and community-driven.


Whether you're an artist, community organizer, or arts advocate, this session is designed to ensure that your voice and your values shape the governance framework of Arts Ottawa. We invite you to bring your creativity, experience, and insights to this collaborative process, and together, we will build a governance model that reflects the diverse and vibrant arts community we serve.
