The Art Mad Artists have always enjoyed taking a a crack at the challenge, which offers the First Place winner a cash prize, plus having one's artwork's image immortalized as the Atomic Rooster's coasters for the year. Artwork on display is also available for sale to the general public.

New Session begins September 9th, 2016

The Art Mad Artists took a much needed break over the summer to travel, work on personal projects and refill their creative wells.  The group will be returning to the hard and enjoyable task of creating unique work at the Ottawa Public Library's Stittsville Branch Friday afternoons from 1pm - 4pm.

If you are interested in meeting with the artists and would like to check out where the magic happens, please contact us in advance and we would be delighted to see you! (613) 836-7821 or artmadartists(at)gmail(dot)com

The Stittsville Village Association's 'Arts in the Park' rain date was Sunday August 14th. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect day to share our work with the interested and wonderful people who stopped by. Thanks to all who took the time to come to the show and who supported our efforts.

Deep thanks also to: Gerry Chamberlain, Maggie & John Madden for their work with the set-up and take-down of grids, organizing, hanging work and unflagging passion for the Art Mad Artists' success.
