OSA 135th Anniversary

header

Did you know that we are turning 135 years old?

It is the Ottawa School of Art’s pleasure to invite you to our 135th Fundraising Anniversary Event. Guided by our motto “Teaching art to everyone”, OSA has been Ottawa’s leading centre for visual arts education in the region since 1879. In honour of this amazing night, we would very much appreciate your attendance to our memorable event.
In this, our 9th year of hosting our annual fundraiser, the 135th Anniversary Event has a target of raising $20,000 and much needed promotion for our Bursary Program. As a not for profit school, OSA provides barrier-free art classes to hundreds of students each year through our Bursary Program. Please join us and demonstrate a commitment to art education and culture in Ottawa. Studying visual art provides unique ways of knowing, doing, being, and learning for all students. We need your support to help us enrich the lives of students in need by providing them with quality art instruction taught by professional artists.
