Manotick Art Association fills the community with Inspirations

After a long, gray and snowy winter, there is nothing like a blast of colour to usher in the spring.

The Manotick Art Association hosted its annual spring Inspirations Art Show at the Manotick Curling Club April 2123. It was the first spring Inspirations show with no restrictions or parameters from COVID-19 since 2019.

Attendance was strong throughout the weekend, and a new layout on the curling club floor provided more spacious aisles and better opportunities for art lovers to view the works.

“The show was well attended and steady throughout the weekend,” said Giedre Abromaitis of the Manotick Art Association.

The exhibitors were all members of the Manotick Art Association. Though 63 artists applied for the show, it was limited to 40. There were artists that worked with acrylic, watercolour and oil, as well as mixed media artists, sculptures, wood artisans and photographers.

A portion of the proceeds from the show were donated to the Ottawa Mission.
