Ottawa Art Gallery – Galerie d’art d’Ottawa
If you like contemporary art this is the place for you. Admission is free and you can go anytime of day.
This gallery is within easy walking distance of both the Rideau Center and the Byward Market and is worth an hour or so of your time if you are visiting either of those. Featuring Canadian artists, there are three separate spaces with displays, including a gallery with paintings for sale on the first floor. As well there is a quite nice cafe. Did I mention…admission is free!
OAG spans five floors, with more than 55,000 square feet of programmable space, including:
A dedicated gallery for the Firestone Collection of Canadian Art, which includes works by the Group of Seven
A gallery for OAG’s Permanent Collection
Two outdoor rooftop terraces, one approximately 2,500 square feet, and the other offering a view of the Peace Tower
A large multi-purpose room with retractable seating for 250, or standing capacity for 380
The Ottawa Art Gallery Studio for school programs, artist-led and community-led workshops, and intimate screenings.
