The Gratitude Project at the Foyer Gallery

The Foyer Gallery invites you at attend “Gratitude,” photography exhibition based on photos received from Ottawa residents.

The exhibition is the culmination of a project launched by the Gallery earlier this year, asking Ottawa residents to show the things that made them feel grateful. Big things or little things, they wanted to see it all.

Members of the Foyer Gallery are grateful for their gallery space and the artistic freedom that comes with having a space of their. They wanted to pay it forward and give the public a chance to show their work in the Gallery, too. As artists, members believe that creative expression is vital, so they wanted to give other people the opportunity—and the encouragement—to participate in a creative process. Foyer Gallery thought it would be interesting to create something as a community.  They hoped that people would show unique and unexpected sources of gratitude.

The public responded with more than 100 photos that expressed their sense of gratitude. The Gallery has photos from students, photos from seniors, and everyone in between. They are displaying all of the photos received in an online show and in the gallery from 27 September through October 16. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Culture Days, as well as with the Thanksgiving season! The opening reception is on Sunday, October 2 from 1-3 pm. Please join!

The Foyer Gallery is an artist-run center located in the Nepean Sportsplex that showcases original works of art created by a juried group of emerging and well-established visual artists from the Ottawa region.
