Arts Ottawa Awards Photo: Eric Reid Historically, at this time of year, the former organization, Ottawa Arts Council, would issue a call to applicants for a springtime award ceremony. Given our transition with the merger, that timeline needs to be moved to later in the year. We also see this shift as a coveted opportunity: Ottawa Arts Council has hosted these awards for 35 years, and we believe it's time to reflect and adapt to the value in today's arts and culture sector. This shift in timing offers us the time to secure community feedback on the program. And, as with our merger process (and in line with the new governance model with Arts Ottawa) the community's voice, and those of our invested partners, will be asked to help us shape its new vision. We would value your participation at our February edition of Open Office Hours , taking place online on February 28th from 12 pm-1 pm to reflect on the awards' impact, explore how they align with today’s arts sector, and co-design the next chapter of Arts Ottawa’s awards. TIMELINE In February we'll announce a community co-design of Arts Awards. This will include a survey and call for interest in participating in the conversation. On February 28 you're invited to attend the Open Office Hours online discussion on the future of the Arts Awards From March-June we'll take those findings and host interest-holder roundtables and potential learning labs and co-design the next chapter of Arts Ottawa’s awards. In August, we'll report the results of the community co-design process and our collective decisions on the 2025 award process We are holding space for an event in the fall as a potential awards date. View the past Art Awards information and details Your opinions and feedback will be instrumental in our better understanding of how things should move forward. This is your chance to help shape the future of arts recognition in Ottawa.

Arts Ottawa is advocating for greater investment in the City of Ottawa's Culture Funding Envelope City Budget 2025 Arts Ottawa is advocating for greater investment in the City of Ottawa's Culture Funding Envelope Arts Ottawa delegated to the Community Services Committee on Tuesday, November 26th, 2024 to speak to the importance of greater investment in the City of Ottawa's Culture Funding Envelope, and its new Cultural Plan. We asked that the plan have an appropriate budget for the scale and scope of the work it is undertaking, with residents able to contribute and help direct the future of arts and culture. We also advocated for significant increases to the cultural funding envelope so the sector can prepare to deliver on the outcomes of the plan and support all Ottawa communities to thrive. The 2025 draft budget, approved by City Council, shows a 2% increase in the Cultural Funding Envelope, representing an additional investment of $285,000 in 2025. Learn more about what services benefit from this advocacy. Watch the Delegation
