So Long  Farewell  Auf Wiedersehn  Adieu

After 42 years of serving the art-loving community of Ottawa, Art Lending of Ottawa has sadly and reluctantly decided to suspend operations at the end of June 2012.

Numerous factors, not the least of which are the current uncertain economy and steadily dwindling attendance, contributed to this decision.

The current members and the Executive wish to thank all of the visitors and clients, both past and current, as well as all of the wonderful and talented artists who have made Art Lending such a vital element of the Ottawa art scene over the past four decades.

While Art Lending will not be opening its doors in September 2012, we do hope that the group will re-emerge in a revised format that is more suited to the needs of today's culture and society.

The website will remain open for the present and if you are an artist or an art-lover who wishes to become part of the committee that will reshape Art Lending, please contact us at 613-224-8024 for further information.

The June 19 - 20, 2012 show will be out final exhibition of the season.
