BEING Studio

our society. Each artist at the studio participates in group discussions, as well as self-focused activities such as journaling, drawing and painting. The artists learn to transform their ideas and emotions into written words and art. At BEING Studio we believe that through this process of visual learning, the artists develop skills that can be used to help each one fulfill their full potential and improve their quality of life. The program follows an innovative approach that allows staff and volunteers to work with the artists to develop self-expression, independence and entrepreneurial skills. The art is exhibited in various community venues and galleries throughout the year in the Ottawa area. Following a revenue-sharing approach, the artists work together to present and sell their work. BEING fosters a sense of belonging and participation in the community: each artist knows they are making a unique contribution to the cultural life of Ottawa. With each art show, the studio and its artists reach out to connect, and Ottawa and the surrounding community has opened its arms wide to embrace the colour, the enthusiasm and the spirit of BEING’s talented artists. Thank you for your continued interest and support in the BEING Studio program and artists.
