You didn’t need Cupid on the guest list to feel the love at the Bridgehead Roastery on Thursday, when members and supporters of Ottawa’s artistic community came together for the Ottawa Arts Council’s popular lead-up event to Valentine’s Day.
“Basically, your presence here is like a big kiss, a big smooch,” emcee and actor Manon St-Jules told the room as she officially welcomed guests to the event, Sweetheart Cocktail for the Arts, presented by ArtHaus condos.

Ottawa Arts Council executive director Peter Honeywell, National Capital Commission chair Russell Mills, Susan Annis from the Cultural Human Resources Council and Ottawa Art Gallery CEO Alexandra Badzak were just a few of the faces in the friendly crowd.

The arts benefit saw guests mingle over drinks and snacks while bidding on tickets to upcoming concerts, live theatre shows and festivals. The funds raised that night will support the Ottawa Arts Council, an arts organization that advocates for the arts community as well as supports local artists through its awards program.
These are good times for cultural sector as such projects as the expansion of the Ottawa Art Gallery and the redevelopment of Arts Court get underway. Earlier that day, new funding of up to $250,000 was announced for arts, culture and heritage projects relating to Canada’s 150th birthday.
Special guests included Mayor Jim Watson, who congratulated the Ottawa Arts Council for the “tremendous work” that it’s been doing. “They’re a strong, respected and credible voice at City Hall and in this community,” he told the crowd.
