The Manotick Art Association presents two shows each year. The Inspirations Spring Show and Sale is held in late April at the Manotick Curling Centre. Member participation in this show is by invitation through an independent jurying process. Every participating artist has a 10ft x 4ft booth to display their artwork. The Call to Artists for this show is sent out by email in January to all members in good standing.
The Inspirations Fall Show and Sale is held in late October or early November at a local Manotick venue. Participation is open to all members of MAA. Booth size is smaller, depending on venue, and there is a maximum price of $250 per artwork. The Call to Artists for this show is sent out by email in late August or early September to all members in good standing.
Members taking part in either of the Inspirations Shows and Sales must volunteer in some capacity in planning and/or supporting the show. Fees for participation in the show vary depending on the size/format of the booth. MAA collects 10% commission on sales. Booth and commission fees are used to defray the costs of holding the show.
Our Upcoming Show:

This year’s Inspirations Small Treasures show will be held Saturday November 1st and Sunday November 2nd at the Manotick United Church (Lower Hall). All artist spots have been successfully filled and we look forward to an amazing show with door donations going to ROSSS (Rural Ottawa South Support Services). We are also pleased to report that we will once again be partnering with the Manotick BIA as a passport stop on their Women’s Day Event.
