Good Morning Everyone,

 

The Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition (OAC), through funding received by the United Way/Centraide Ottawa, is providing a unique opportunity for Aboriginal youth, families and neighboring First Nation communities in the national capital region.  In partnership with the National Gallery of Canada's Sakahàn: International Indigenous Art Exhibition, the OAC will offer a variety of Community Arts Programs, Workshops and Camps throughout the summer months designed to bring together the Aboriginal community in Ottawa, local artists and Indigenous artists participating in the Sakahàn exhibition.
