Secure your spot for the 10th Anniversary Artawa Group Exhibition Resonance X: 10 Years of Artawa. There will be 100 panels available. The exhibition is planned for November 2026, location is to be determined.
The Theme: Resonance
To resonate is to evoke a shared feeling: a vibration that continues long after the initial strike. As Artawa celebrates a decade of collective creativity alongside Ottawa’s 200th anniversary, we are looking for works that explore the “echoes” between our personal artistic journeys and the enduring spirit of our city.
Whether it is the resonance of a memory, a connection to the local landscape, or the vibration of a community growing together, we want to see how your work ripples outward.
Prompts to consider
- What part of my art or my creative practice resonates with others?
- What aspect of my work is uniquely mine that I contribute to my community?
- How does my work echo the history of this city?
- What “vibration” do I want to leave behind for the next 10 years?
Participants MUST:
- Be existing members of Artawa (sign up here)
- Reside in the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation / Ottawa/Gatineau area
- Limit one panel per person
- Complete and return works by September 13th, 2026
- Help promote the show by attending or inviting others or volunteering their time
