About the Artist Studio Program

The Artist Studio Program is a unique venture that assists local and regional established and emerging artists within 150 km of Ottawa to access studio space in city buildings. This studio program is intended to foster professional development in the arts and expose the public to visual art through studio visits, exhibitions, and events.  

There are two types of Artist Studio Program studios: 

  • Long-term studios – Total of seventeen studios, each with three-year studio term agreements; rental and liability insurance fees are required. 

  • Short-term studios – Total of three studios available annually, each with one-year studio term agreements; rental and liability insurance fees are required.
