  • Raise a Glass: Enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbly while engaging with Canada’s next generation of artists.

PROMENADE DES ARTS

le 27 septembre dans le marché By

Plongez dans la scène artistique d’Ottawa comme jamais auparavant. Trois acteurs majeurs de la scène culturelle à Ottawa, soit le Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, de la Galerie d'art d'Ottawa et l’Autorité du district du marché By, s'unissent pour présenter la Promenade des arts 2025, un après-midi pas comme les autres, mêlant art, conversations et communauté.

Ce qui est proposé :

· Coup d’envoi : le programme débutera dans l’amphithéâtre extérieur du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, à côté de Maman, la monumentale araignée en bronze de l'artiste Louise Bourgeois. Une discussion captivante avec Tania Willard, finaliste du Prix Sobey, vous y attend.

· Promenade autoguidée : carte en main, explorez les galeries indépendantes du marché By et découvrez les plus récentes créations de la scène artistique ottavienne.

· Visites éclairs et commissaires en conversation : terminez l’après-midi à la Galerie d’art d’Ottawa en profitant de causeries d’artistes dont les œuvres font partie de l’exposition , puis échangez directement avec les commissaires de la GAO.

· Levez votre verre : pour finir en beauté, savourez un verre de bulles et jasez avec la nouvelle génération d’artistes.

Ce rendez-vous culturel mettra en lumière la création contemporaine à travers des rencontres avec des artistes d’ici et du Canada, et offrira un nouveau regard sur la scène artistique d’Ottawa.

Pourquoi participer ?

  • Pour découvrir ce qui se fait de plus actuel en art contemporain.
  • Pour rencontrer des artistes et des commissaires dans un cadre accueillant.
