The Manotick Art Association presents two shows each year. The Inspirations Spring Show and Sale is held in late April at the Manotick Curling Centre. Member participation in this show is by invitation through an independent jurying process. Every participating artist has a 10ft x 4ft booth to display their artwork. The Call to Artists for this show is sent out by email in January to all members in good standing.
The Inspirations Fall Show and Sale is held in late October or early November at a local Manotick venue. Participation is open to all members of MAA. Booth size is smaller, depending on venue, and there is a maximum price of $250 per artwork. The Call to Artists for this show is sent out by email in late August or early September to all members in good standing.
Members taking part in either of the Inspirations Shows and Sales must volunteer in some capacity in planning and/or supporting the show. Fees for participation in the show vary depending on the size/format of the booth. MAA collects 10% commission on sales. Booth and commission fees are used to defray the costs of holding the show.
Our Most Recent Show:
Our Inspirations Spring Show and Sale was a great success! Thank you to all who came and viewed our artwork and a special thanks to those who brought art home with them! We are thrilled to announce that $XXX was raised in support of the Ottawa Mission.
Thank you also to the Manotick BIA for a successful collaboration with MAA cross-promoting our events. The BIA hosted their annual Spring Fling on Saturday, April 26th. “Manotick Bucks” were handed out to art show visitors on Saturday which could be used for purchasing merchandise in local Manotick businesses during the weekend.
