Art Mad is a fellowship of artists working in various media who gather at Stittsville Public Library for shared studio space on Friday afternoons from September until June. We do not offer lessons or supplies but enjoy creating art and sharing ideas on our own works. New members are always welcome, space permitting, so if you are interested in joining us in 2025/26, please contact Linda at 613 883-7026 or Maggie at 613 836-8292.
Our art is on display on the Library Art Wall for the whole month of March. Come and see our new work, sign our Comments book and drop-in to see us at work in the Library Meeting Room - we are there every Friday afternoon except for March Break (Friday, March 20th).
A new year! Time for experimenting with new ideas, techniques and media (and time to start looking forward to Spring).
Art Mad member Gerry Chamberlain had a very successful display of his 'Wonderfall' art work at this well-attended event!

It was good to have everyone back for the Spring session. We celebrated the completion of a a successful 2024/25 year with a lunch at the excellent Brews and Blues cafe on Stittsville Main Street.
