PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Greetings OAA Artists,
Our jurors are at the Nectar Gallery choosing their preferred pieces for the Fall Award Show. We have a beautiful selection of art. Best of luck to all who entered their artwork. I look forward to seeing many of you at the Award night, later this week. Please feel free to bring family and friends to enjoy the art, the season, some wine and nibbles. It's always wonderful when we come together to celebrate each other's creations. No matter who wins, you should all be very proud of your magnificent creativity! We're having our first volunteer appreciation night this December. It will be a great night to thank those of you who chose to participate, for their contributions to our association. We thank everyone who participates in the OAA and lends a hand to help it continue on for another year. Tashi Farmilo-Marouf, OAA President

WALL SPACE GALLERY David Lidbetter November 30 - December 14 358 Richmond Rd, Ottawa
WALL SPACE GALLERY is excited to showcase the latest solo exhibition by Ottawa artist David Lidbetter. Join us in celebrating his intrepid and transient landscapes that celebrate Canada’s beauty. David Lidbetter developed an early appreciation for the Canadian wilderness. Highly collected and sought after, Lidbetter's bold yet subtle paintings have been described as "contemporary feeling Group of Seven scenes pared down to their essentials... mood seems more important than the actual
details of forests, rivers and skies." After many years of exploring various media and subject matter, Lidbetter has spent the last ten painting highly identifiable and unquestionably Canadian landscapes in oil. Lidbetter works close to his home and studio of Ottawa, Canada in areas like Temagami, Gatineau and Algonquin Park. It is no coincidence that his work is reminiscent to the vistas explored by other landscape painters like Tom Thompson and The Group of Seven.

National Gallery of Canada Gallery C218 380 Sussex Drive, Ottawa Beautiful Monsters in Early European Prints and Drawings (1450–1700) November 29, 2019 - March 29, 2020 Witness the unbridled creativity of Renaissance and Baroque artists, such as Albrecht Dürer, who bring monsters to life in an artful manner. The word “monster” comes from the Latin monstrum, meaning an anomaly in the natural order. Throughout the ages, artists have given shape to those abnormalities that populate collective imaginations. This exhibition showcases the unbridled creativity of Renaissance and Baroque artists, such as Albrecht Dürer, Jacques Callot, Lucas van Leyden, Hendrick Goltzius, an others in bringing monsters to life in an artful manner. Drawn from the collection of the National Gallery of Canada, a selection of engravings, etchings, woodcuts and drawings from the 15th through the 17th centuries highlights the different functions of monsters in the visual culture of early modern Europe. Whether they embody moral anxieties of the times or serve a decorative purpose, these fantastic beings elicit both terror and wonder. Through them, we can glimpse the power dynamics of religion and gender, and observe how art is capable of bringing a certain beauty even to the monstrous. https://www.gallery.ca/whats-on/exhibitions-and-galleries/beautiful-monsters
