Co-ordinator: Dan Northcott: 613-523-7365  dannorthcott@yahoo.ca 

This is the oldest venue in Ottawa for Life Drawing. “Our workshop has been running for over 30 years. It is probably the largest and cheapest in Ottawa. The class is co-operative and non-profit. There is no registration fee and no up-front payment. You only pay for the sessions that you attend. Everyone helps with the room set-up before the session and then helps in the clean-up afterwards as much as they are able.”
