About Gallery 101

Gallery 101 honours and respects the original people of the territory we currently occupy: unceded and unsurrendered Anishnaabe-Aki who have been living and working on this land since time immemorial.

Located in Ottawa, Ontario, Gallery 101 is a non-profit artist-run centre with charitable status dedicated to the professional presentation and circulation of visual and media arts. Each year, we present a stimulating array of solo and group exhibitions of Canadian and international contemporary artists working in all mediums. We also offer services and professional development opportunities to artists, curators, writers and critics. Commitment to artists and their work is our first priority.

As an artist-run-centre, G101 champions artists' rights and advocates for fair payment of arists in all our programming and partnerships. We are a not-for-profit and registered charitable organization, able to secure funding through all levels of government and various partnerships to produce exhibitions and events and pay CARFAC recommended artist fees.

Mission

Gallery 101’s mission centers on bringing people of diverse identities together. We believe in sharing perspectives across communities that don’t normally intersect. An essential risk we take is to embrace projects, programming, and partnerships that reach beyond visual arts communities to include and inspire allyship for front-line workers, thinkers, knowledge keepers, organizers and the communities that they serve.
