Arteast Ottawa is an art association that welcomes visual artists who work in all media. Arteast’s objective is to foster appreciation, understanding and love of the visual arts, by providing experiences that entertain, educate and enrich the life of our bilingual community.

Arteast Ottawa hosts Mosaic, the largest non-themed juried exhibition in the City. Every year we receive applications for more than 140 artworks. Only the best of the works will be selected for this exhibition, which encourages high artistic merit and artistic innovation.

JungHee Lee-Marles - Interconnections

August 8 to October 22, 2024
Vernissage: August 8, 2024, 5:30 to 7:30 pm

JungHee Lee-Marles, South Korean-born, is an Ottawa mixed media artist. Her artworks focus on colours capturing moods, lines tracking movement and energies, and textures connecting the physical and emotional worlds. Her dedication to learning and excelling in art has been recognized by many solo exhibition opportunities, grants and awards.

Interconnections is an exhibition that portrays the societal and environmental challenges we face. The fragile ecosystems we share, the turbulence in social and cultural issues we face, and our growing dependence on technologies, often discarded when something “better” comes along, are explored through a series of mixed media paintings.

We are a team of artists from Enriched Bread Artists in Ottawa.

As artists, our work is diverse; this exhibition explores shared concerns relating to the atmosphere. 

Atmosphere: Environment, Emotion, Exchange is an exhibition of artworks by Canadian and South Korean artists. Atmosphere is defined as the gases around the earth; in this exhibition, atmosphere is explored as our surroundings, in terms of the environment, the natural world, social, political and emotional relationships.
