April Meetup at the Ottawa School of Art in Orleans
April 27 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
NEW VENUE! Please note that this is at the ORLEANS CAMPUS of the Ottawa School of Art, located in the Shenkman Arts centre in the Sculpture Studio on the ground level (we will have signs!)
Description
Artawa is an inclusive group of creatives that meet monthly to create alongside each other, share advice and stories, socialize and network.
Come hang out, drink coffee/tea, sketch/paint/whatever, and meet fellow Ottawa artists! Bring your own supplies. Bring whatever art project you’re currently working on or have been ignoring lately! The awesome studio we have been so graciously provided is well lit and has lots of tables and a sink.
There are quite a few galleries in the building, as well as a theater! Take a look around before settling in to make art, and be inspired by all of the awesome work on display.
Directions
We will be meeting in the Sculpture Studio, which is on the lowest level of the Shenkman Arts Centre. From the lower entrance, you take a right immediately after coming in, and walk THROUGH the Ottawa School of Art Admin area (there will be signs!) into the Sculpture Studio.
If you come in the front door from the Centrum blvd. entrance, you will need to go to the lower level by stairs or elevator and look for the Trinity Art Gallery, towards the back entrance and hang a left to the OSA admin area.
