The Unquiet North

We are looking for work that speaks to the present moment—whether through defiance or reflection, resistance or resilience. Some will honour the past, others will challenge the future, but all must carry the energy of a North that refuses to be still. From bold statements to quiet tensions, we invite artists across all mediums to capture the raw, unfiltered spirit of a country in motion

Le Nord Agité

Nous recherchons des œuvres qui parlent du moment présent, que ce soit par la défiance ou la réflexion, la résistance ou la résilience. Certaines honoreront le passé, d'autres défieront l'avenir, mais tous doivent porter l'énergie d'un Nord qui refuse l'immobilité. Des déclarations audacieuses aux tensions apaisées, nous invitons des artistes de toute horizons à saisir l'esprit brut et sans filtre d'un pays en mouvement.

Now is the time. Now is the place. What will you say?

Standing UP!

for the Alliston Aquifer

OSA members will gather in May 2025 to create art in the out-of-doors in Tiny Township near Midland. The art will bring attention to the ‘cleanest water in the world’ and the need to keep this precious resource free from impurities. Speakers will discuss threats to the purity of the water. Artists will also create various art forms in the forest and may explore the many natural resources in the area including birds, ocean and marshes.
