Ottawa – Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee, this evening reopened the City’s Karsh-Masson Gallery at its new location on the main floor of Ottawa City Hall.
“The Karsh-Masson Gallery is a wonderful addition to Ottawa City Hall,” said Mayor Watson. “We’re making City Hall more of a people place and the Gallery adds another feature attraction for the public to enjoy.”
The Karsh-Masson Gallery moves from its former location on St. Patrick Street in the ByWard Market into a permanent space on the main concourse of City Hall. It proudly bears the name of celebrated portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh and painter Henri Masson in honour of their outstanding achievements.
“The City is committed to showcasing the work of local artists”, stated Chair Taylor. Relocating the Karsh-Mason Gallery to City Hall creates an opportunity for residents and visitors to connect with Ottawa’s dynamic local arts scene.”
City Hall is also home to the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery, the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame and City Hall Art Gallery. Works of art from the City of Ottawa Art Collection are displayed throughout the building.
The City’s Collection includes 2,250 works of art created by 673 artists on display at over 160 public sites across Ottawa including libraries, community centres, parks, pools, client service centres and transit stations.
Operated by the City of Ottawa Public Art Program, the Karsh-Masson Gallery opened originally in the early 1990’s in the former Ottawa City Hall on Sussex Drive and has featured works from emerging to well-established artists, the City of Ottawa Art Collection, collaborative exhibitions with local organizations, and touring exhibitions presented by diplomatic missions.
One Last Time is the first exhibition at the new Karsh-Masson Gallery and features local artist Tavi Weisz. The recent paintings of Tavi Weisz seem to have moved away from the darkness, and now incorporate a palette of blazing colours and imagery infused in witticism. His entire body of work can be seen as a cathartic process in and of itself, one that leads to illumination and personal healing.
The exhibition will run until January 12, 2014. The Gallery is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Ottawa City Hall, 100 Laurier Avenue West. Admission is free.
