Our Mentorship Programming is a central part of both Action Labs and the Arts Ottawa Awards. From dozens of surveys and extensive community engagement, we heard loud and clear that Ottawa artists want to see mentorship strengthened across the city’s arts community. Mentorship isn’t just one-on-one guidance. It’s co-learning, co-creating, and coming together to share knowledge, workshop ideas, and strengthen Ottawa’s arts community
In our Action Labs, mentorship goes beyond theory. It allows us to fund events, provide resources, and create experiences that make learning impactful and collaborative. Learn more about our Action Labs here.
For the Arts Ottawa Awards, we aim to extend mentorship to winning nominees. Recognition would not stop at a cash prize, as we hope to continue supporting artists in the months that follow to help them grow, learn, and thrive. We are reaching out to potential mentors and, if all goes according to plan, will pair them with Arts Awards recipients so these connections can truly flourish.

Thank you for being part of this vibrant community and for helping Ottawa artists reach their full potential. Your support makes a meaningful difference, and we are so grateful for your generosity.
