After lockdowns and shutdowns, isolation and quarantine, convoys and storms, we all are anxious to resume a more normal life. So we are excited to announce the relaunch of the Glebe Art In Our Gardens and Studio Tour! This popular annual Glebe tradition will be held on the weekend of July 9 and 10. With 25 artists at 17 sites conveniently located for easy walking or cycling, there will be art to suit a wide range of interests. After two years of limited opportunities to exhibit or sell their works, the artists are looking forward to showing their work again. And people look forward to seeing what returning artists have been working on, which new artists have appeared and how the gardens have changed. The tour offers local artists the opportunity to show and sell their works in their own neighbourhood, and it also provides a venue for discovering and promoting up-and-coming artists as well as guest artists from outside the Glebe. Exhibiting art in garden settings is one of the most charming aspects of the tour as the gardens will be in mid-summer bloom. And we are continuing with

the popular ballot prize as an incentive for art lovers to visit as many sites as possible. Although we do not know what the COVID situation will be in July, we are confident that the Glebe art tour, being an outdoor event, will be a safe activity. We ask visitors to be respectful and careful when around others. Come out between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on July 9 and 10 to support local artists. Take a break on a patio, stop for a coffee at an independent café and enjoy a summer weekend in the Glebe. Site maps and cards with the list of artists will be available in Glebe shops and the Glebe Community Centre, and there will be notices on social media. Information is also available on our website at glebearttour.ca. Welcome back to the Glebe!

The House of PainT is a free, outdoor, hip-hop jam that showcases graffiti, breakdancing, DJs and MCs (poetry and rap) from across Canada. The festival usually takes place at the legal graffiti wall under the Dunbar Bridge (under Bronson Avenue near Carleton and Brewer Park) every summer. This location has been dubbed House of Pain by local artists and writers. However, because of COVID, the hip-hop and urban art festival collaborated this spring with DJs, musicians, poets and dancers to put on 18 acts in free concerts in five different neighbourhoods in Ottawa across three weekends in May and June, bringing local talent, music and art directly to porches, patios and front yards of the communities, inviting us to step out of our homes and help welcome art back to the street. The concerts took place in Ramsey, Ritchie, Overbrook and Caldwell neighbourhoods and showcased
local talent at the footsteps of these communities. House of PainT aims to celebrate and elevate hip-hop by supporting local and upcoming artists. Along with the free concerts for the community, House of PainT filmed each artist’s performance. The recordings will serve as promotional assets for each artist that they can use to support and grow their artistry. The shift to publishing film is also reflective of House of PainT’s commitment to making the urban arts safe and accessible to all amidst concerns for public safety and wellbeing. The recordings will increase accessibility to the work of the artists through digital delivery and allow for an expansive reach of the urban arts to new and committed fans in Ottawa-Gatineau and beyond. Videos of the performances are on the Facebook page at HouseofPainTFestival.
This year’s House of PainT hip-hop and street arts festival took place in a series of free community concerts across Ottawa. Videos of performances are hosted online.
