Life is Good is not a statement of perfection — it’s a collection of moments. A quiet hammock beneath the trees. The glow of a sunset on water. Fruit waiting to be shared. Places remembered, places imagined. These works remind us that joy often lives in the ordinary: in nature, connection, rest, beauty, and the stories we carry with us. This exhibition brings together artists with different styles and perspectives, united by a simple idea: even in a complicated world, there are moments worth celebrating.
Join us for Life is Good and discover the small wonders that make life meaningful.

You’re warmly invited to view "Where the Light Gets In," a group exhibition presented by the Ottawa West Arts Association (OWAA). This exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists exploring moments of quiet illumination—where light, in its many forms, reveals hope, reflection, and resilience. From contemplative abstractions to evocative landscapes and photographic works, each piece offers its own interpretation of light as presence, pause, and possibility.

We invite you to experience the exhibition in person and discover how light enters—sometimes subtly, sometimes boldly—into both the artwork and the viewer’s imagination.

“Beneath the Surface” invites visitors to explore the subtle, hidden, and often emotional layers that lie beyond first impressions. Featuring a diverse range of artists from the Ottawa West Arts Association (OWAA), the exhibition brings together works that reveal depth, whether through texture, colour, storytelling, or symbolism. Each piece encourages viewers to slow down, look closer, and discover the meanings that emerge when we move past the obvious and into the intuitive and unseen.

You are warmly invited to experience this inspiring exhibition from 20 December 2025 to 14 February 2026 at the OWAA Gallery, located inside the CARDELREC Recreation Centre at 1500 Shea Road, Stittsville, Ontario. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a member of the community, or simply curious, the show offers a compelling journey into artistic interpretation and personal reflection. Come visit, linger with the artworks, and see what surfaces for you. Should there be a typical Ottawa blizzard, you can also view the exhibition online at: https://owaa.ca/ from the comfort of your home.

Artworks can be purchased by contacting the Treasurer at [email protected]
