“Believe it or not, Ottawa does have culture”
Jessica Ruano, the Ottawa Citizen, 2006

Welcome! This is where Ottawa arts enthusiasts can gather information on what’s happening around the city. Once a month, I send out a personalized newsletter to approximately 1000 subscribers detailing my top picks for theatre, music, dance, spoken word, film, literary arts, visual arts, and any other art form you can possibly think of.

I like to focus mainly on LOCAL events: theatre productions with local actors and directors; awesome bands that aren’t from out-of-town; neighbourhood poetry groups; and artists with exhibits in their own studios.

Let’s celebrate what this city has to offer!
