A Real Walk of Art
Art can turn even the coldest stone into a creation filled with life. It breathes essence into everything, from sound to matter.
Can you imagine a world without it?
To celebrate Ottawa’s art scene and underline the role art plays in shaping everyday life, the National Gallery of Canada (NGC), the Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG), and the ByWard Market District Authority present Artwalk Ottawa 2025. This year’s edition offers an afternoon tour of public and private galleries, combining exhibitions with conversations that bring audiences closer to the artists and curators shaping today’s cultural landscape.
