Arteast Digest: Members' Announcements

1. Members' Announcements

Arteast member Danielle Beaulieu will be exhibiting in the Da Artisti Gallery from July 31st to October 13th. Two new series will be on display.

The first series of paintings entitled "From the Farm to the Kitchen" represents fruits and vegetables that end up in our kitchen. During our daily activities, we may not take a lot of time to observe the fruits and vegetables that we pick up at the grocer or market. Paintings force us to admire their structure, shapes and colours.

The second series entitled "Oh So Sweet" contains bright coloured candies with crystal containers. Unlike fruits and vegetables, as children, we probably all admired the bright colours of candy. As adults, seeing candies probably brings back cheerful memories.

The vernissage is on Saturday August 3rd from 9am to 5pm at 2565 Old Montreal Rd, Cumberland ON K4C 1A1.




In addition, Marie Léger and Wendy Canci, also a members, will be exhibiting in the gallery during the same period.

Request for Qualifications (RFQ)

The City of Ottawa Public Art Program invites curators, planning artists or public art consultants to submit their qualifications for consideration to develop a comprehensive Public Art Plan for Vanier and Montreal Road. This two-stage competition is held in accordance with the Public Art Policy.

The Public Art Plan once developed, with considerable research and community consultations will be a strong conceptual plan with concrete recommendations for public art opportunities for Montreal Road and the surrounding Vanier communities. The proponent must bring a high level of conceptual ability and innovation to the planning process and inspire City of Ottawa staff and the community to reach for the best and most creative solutions for public art.

Project Vision
The development of the Public Art Plan for Montreal Road and the surrounding Vanier communities should aim to be as inclusive and barrier free as possible, allowing space for diverse and marginalized voices and perspectives in the consultation process. The approach for engaging and consulting with communities should be an artistic and creative process in itself. The Public Art Plan should be strongly rooted in place and reflect the local values, stories, aspirations and character of the neighbourhood. In addition, the Public Art Plan should be innovative and forward thinking and present exciting and inventive approaches to public art. In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation and in keeping with the City of Ottawa’s Reconciliation Action Plan the proponent should include Indigenous representation and culture in the Art Plan.
