A new sizzling summer season, the launch of an annual children’s holiday event, these are just some of the programming initiatives the team at Arts Court has put in place this past year. Now, the Ottawa Arts Court Foundation, the local charitable organization in charge of managing and operating the Arts Court Theatre and related performing arts spaces in the building, is providing another opportunity for professional arts producers in the city by opening up three new spaces for resident companies.

“It is part of our mandate to provide leading facilities, programs and services to Ottawa’s arts producers and presenters,” says Linda Balduzzi, Executive Director of the Ottawa Arts Court Foundation. “Providing a home and helping to nurture resident companies is another way to ensure a healthy and vibrant arts community in this city.”

Arts Court is Ottawa's downtown centre for the performing, visual, literary and media arts and home to a critical mass of Ottawa's local professional arts organizations.  Twenty-five independent arts organizations call Arts Court home and thousands of artists host productions in its facilities each year.
