Awesome Arts

Awesome Arts Awesome Arts is a rich program that allows community participants to explore issues and express themselves through the arts.

The Awesome Arts Program and Festival brings artistic excellence and creativity to communities, enabling participants to explore and express themselves via various art forms such as spoken word poetry, music, theatre and video all the while learning about global issues. Through the program participants learn how art can be a powerful form of expression and exploration. Following the workshops, we

host a free festival where the participants showcase their creations to their community. The Awesome Arts Festival also features local professional artist performances, inspiring the participants and community to remain connected with the arts and the issues. This format allows the participants to gain confidence and express themselves as important members of their community. The program reaches far beyond the participants who participate in the workshops as the whole community becomes involved. To date we have run Awesome Arts programs in a number of under-served communities around Ottawa providing more than 275 individual workshops led by 30 local professional artists to over 300 participants. The Awesome Arts Festivals have featured performances from over 200 children and youth and over 60 local professional artist performances to over 2000 residents in Ottawa. We are always interested in new partnerships, so please contact us today! To date we have offered programs in partnership with the Lowertown Resource Community Centre, Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, OCISO and Notre Dame High School's CHOICES program.
