The Art of Becoming: Centretown x Art Battle Ottawa

Join us for an evening where art, community, and purpose come together to raise funds for a public art installation.

On June 25, the Centretown BIA is taking over the Ottawa Art Gallery for a one-night fundraising event in support of a community arts initiative in Centretown. At the centre of the night is a live art battle in partnership with Art Battle Ottawa, where local artists will be paired with youth from Operation Come Home to co-create original works in real time. The winning piece will go on to inspire a permanent public art installation in the neighbourhood. This is more than an event. It’s an opportunity to be part of something that will live on in Centretown.   What to expect:

• A live art battle featuring local artists with Art Battle Ottawa
• Live music throughout the evening
• A curated local vendor market
• Food included with your ticket
• A licensed bar + non-alcoholic beverages by Ananda Elixirs
• A poetry and visual installation exploring themes of mental health

As part of the evening, our Executive Director SabriNa Lemay’s book, Truth iN Motion, will be featured through a spoken word and visual installation. All proceeds from book sales will go directly toward the community arts initiative. If you’re unable to attend, purchasing a copy of the book is another meaningful way to support. This book was published in collaboration with Lucky Book Publishing.
