Robbie Larivière, street artist, enlivens the urban streetscape — and makes people pause. He shares his mission to disrupt rushing through a commercial strip and staring at your phone with his playful and family-friendly art and, he explains how opportunities for urban artists have grown in recent years.

Robbie Larivière, artiste de rue, embellit le paysage urbain et demande aux gens de faire une pause. N’importe, au travers de son art ludique et enjoué, ses personnages aux couleurs vibrantes chamboulent tout ce qui nous est des plus familiers lorsque nous regardons nos téléphones et nous nous empressons dans les centres commerciaux. Il explique également comment les occasions pour les artistes urbains se sont développés au fil de ces dernières années.

Option 1: Laptop. This is generally the best quality because most laptops are equipped with a camera and a good mic. Install the Zoom App. Once installed, you can just click the link we provide you and presto! You may also use your computer but others will not be able to see you unless you have a camera connected

Option 2: Using an Android or IOS device (phone/tablet). Find Zoom in the Play Store or Apple store. Download the app. Once the app is installed, click the link you receive for the meeting

3. Member's News

Mary Ann Varley is Introducing Electric Street Gallery!

Continuing in the tradition of the beloved Crichton Street Gallery, at the same location with many of the same artists, the new name is intended to convey continuity and change. The gallery's mission is to support Ottawa
area artists and Ottawa art.

Current artists showing at the gallery are : Elisabeth Arbuckle, Sara Aydin, Pat Carbonneau, Zeynep Ergincan, Jennifer Anne Kelly,  Elizabeth Mitchell, Erin Morphy, Olga Radushkevich,Beth Stikeman, Louise Tanguay,
Irene Tobis and Mary Ann Varley.

Until "non-essential" businesses open again, you can "window shop" at the gallery – or browse on the gallery's website: http://www.electricstreet.art!    Window displays change frequently so neighbours are encouraged to come
by often! Currently the window and the website feature a Tulip Art Festival through May 24. While the tulip is a much-studied art subject, the gallery's artists have come up with some remarkable variations!

Ottawa, ON, Canada
