ART IN STRATHCONA PARK - EXHIBITION AND SALE

Where: Strathcona Park - Laurier Avenue E. & Range Road, Ottawa, Canada
When: Saturday September 6th, 2025 10 AM – 4 PM

Rain or Shine | Free Admission | Silent Auction | Refreshments | BBQ

Earlier this year, we shared the unfortunate news that our annual Art in Strathcona Park Exhibition and Sale would not be moving forward this year. However, we’re thrilled to now share an exciting update: the in-person event is back on!

We're teaming up with National Capital Artisans who are organizing the event, and we'd love for you to join us. As in the past, we will also feature a BBQ and a Silent Auction.

Join us for a day in the park and enjoy one of the area’s most enjoyable fresh-air event featuring many talented artists and artisans. On Saturday, September 6th 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. established artists and artisans and undiscovered talents will come together to sell their work directly to the public and to raise public awareness about mental illness. Art in Strathcona Park also offers jewellery and pottery, to name just a few, and will also feature a silent auction and a BBQ - something for just about everyone!

Did you know that in any given year, 1 in 5 Canadian experiences a mental health problem or illness? The sad fact is that we are all touched in some way by mental health issues through a family member, a friend or a colleague. Unfortunately, the reality is that public misconceptions, fear and the stigma associated with having a mental illness may discourage people from seeking help for themselves or their family member.

Set in an idyllic location that draws many visitors and locals, Strathcona Park is located between the Rideau River and Range Road, south of Laurier Avenue East. Regardless of whether or not you're in the market for original art, or jewellery or other craft, Art in Strathcona Park is a pleasant way to spend a summer Saturday.
