The downtown based Ottawa Art Gallery opened in 1980 after local artists advocated for their work and organized a municipal location to demonstrate the local artistic population and talent. The Ottawa Art Gallery was opened as a result of public attention and urging, and it has been functioning since 1988.

Today, the Gallery is open to public, and visitors are able to view the art and learn about the process the local artistic community took to secure a platform for their expression.

The Gallery hosts a permanent collection of varying works, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and modern pieces. Rotating and visiting exhibitions are also on display, highlighting both local and national artists, and educational programs and community classes are hosted on site.
