Gallery 101 / Galerie 101 – Artists’ Centre d’Artistes Inc. (G101)

Gallery 101 is a non-profit artist-run centre dedicated to the professional presentation, dissemination and promotion of contemporary visual and media arts. In 1979, a small group of energetic Ottawa artists pooled their resources to establish a new non-profit gallery in which they would have control over the production and presentation of their own work. Officially incorporated as the Artists’ Centre d’Artistes, it was located at 101 Fourth Avenue. During the 1980s, Gallery 101 also organized performances, poetry readings and music events alongside its regular exhibition programming. Media arts—including sound art, video and experimental cinema—became an important part of our programming in the 1990s. Today, Gallery 101 continues its commitment to the visual arts in every form through its exhibitions, publications, workshops and events.
