Genre-bending hip hop, ambient-glitch, conceptual installation, and the return of the Queertopia kiki ball – all under one roof at Pique winter edition.
Pique winter edition returns to Arts Court on December 13, 2025 with a unique and eclectic program celebrating underground music, forward-thinking art and bold performance. Designed for discovery, community connection and radical self-expression, Pique brings together some of the boldest ground-breaking artists from across Canada to experiment and engage with the local artistic community.
QUEERTOPIA KIKI BALL
Back by popular demand, Pique will host the Queertopia kiki ball presented by Legendary Mother Maldita and Yéila Siriano, welcoming legends and leaders from ballroom scenes across Canada to not only host a ball, but also mentor emerging ballroom artists through skill-building workshops presented by MAX Ottawa.
Community members can sign up to walk the ball here: https://forms.gle/pYcdntvTGQyc8ZnN9.
More information about workshops coming soon.

ADMISSION EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
When you pay $65 or more for a ticket to Pique, you help subsidize a ticket for someone else in need, and promote admission equity and accessibility in the arts ✊❤️
Subsidized (choose-your-own-price) tickets are available for registration here (while supplies last): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc9ztQXGhNcbysN7UahK9PWqHvWIzr4rRqdtEBqASQGgm0HA/viewform?usp=dialog
Please note that subsidized tickets will only be available for purchase online, and are no longer available to purchase at the doors.
Support the Pique Sustainability Fund! https://thisispique.com/sustainability-fund
Contributions support admission equity—helping us to offer hundreds of ticket subsidies to community members in need for each edition of Pique—while also ensuring fair pay and healthy working conditions for the artists and cultural workers who make it all happen.

ACCESSIBILITY GUIDE
As always, Pique is all ages and pay-what-you-can. Arts Court is an accessible building, with elevator access to all levels. Check out our full accessibility guide for more info, and contact us at [email protected] to request support.

The EQUIPE harm reduction team will be on-site to support audience members and hand out free supplies thanks to our partners at MAX Ottawa. Pique staff and volunteers are trained in bystander intervention and harm reduction strategies to support audience members throughout the event.
