Donate to the Ottawa School of Art
Bring free art instruction to underserved communities across Ottawa. Your gift helps fund art supplies, upgrade equipment, and purchase digital tools.
Bursaries help children, youth, and adults access general interest art courses they otherwise couldn’t afford. Valued at $250 - $475 per person, they are a vital lifeline for individuals facing financial barriers, ensuring creativity and self-expression remain available to all.
Help students create by providing essential materials like pencils, paper, brushes, paint, and update and purchase equipment.
Our scholarships open doors for emerging artists by helping Fine Arts and Portfolio Certificate students cover the cost of tuition and essential materials. These awards reduce financial barriers that often stand between talented individuals and the formal arts training they need to grow.
When you contribute towards a Scholarship, you’re investing directly in students who are committed to developing their creative practice.
Your support empowers them to focus on their work, access professional instruction, purchase art materials and build the portfolios that shape their future opportunities.
Each donation, large and small, helps ensure that passionate, dedicated artists can pursue their education regardless of financial circumstance.
Our gallery showcases student work and exhibitions by established local, national, and international artists. With your support, we can continue bringing world‑class art to our community while giving emerging creators the chance to learn, grow, and be inspired.
Leave a gift in your will or estate plan to support the Ottawa School of Art, creating a lasting impact for future generations of artists.
