An Artists’ Co-Op
One of the first things you see when you walk into the first front entrance of the Nepean Sportsplex is the Foyer Gallery. In fact, the gallery derives its name from being in the foyer of the complex. Organized and run by a co-operative of artists, the Foyer Gallery is a great place to see and purchase the works of local artistic talent.
Artists and Themes
More than twenty artists from the Ottawa region are involved in this enterprise. This relatively large number of individuals translates into great variety, both in style and in medium. Working with clay, oils, watercolours, photography, glass, wood and the like, they succeed in bringing their patrons a host of unique abstract, pop and realistic works. To keep things fresh, the gallery hosts a new exhibition around a different theme every four to six weeks, so visitors can be assured of something new. Showings may include works from all of the artists involved in the gallery, or may feature a solo exhibition.
The Gallery
As befits any gallery worth its salt, The Foyer is both a bright and open space. One entire wall of the gallery is made up of glass, allowing anyone entering the Sportsplex a good look at the works of art within. As well, the space is always in motion. Movable panels ensure that the gallery can change its form and character with every new show, allowing each show to be shown to its best advantage.
When to Go
The Foyer Gallery is open from Wednesdays to Sundays every week and occasionally holds extended hours and special showings. Appointments for private viewings and tours at other times can also be arranged. Take the time and visit Foyer Gallery to appreciate and purchase the works of our regional talent.
