WELCOME
H'Art
of Ottawa is a unique and innovative art studio where self-expression
and a sense of place are encouraged and celebrated for people
with developmental disabilities. Through the common language
of art and self-expression, the artists of H'Art contribute
to the community and the cultural life of Ottawa.

The Society for Neuroscience invited H'Art artists to submit work to their second annual
Brain & Mental Health Art Show
Five H’Art artists had their work accepted into the show.
Congratulations to Irene Beck, Henry Hong, Andre Lanthier,
Caroline Joanisse and Marika Smart.
The vernissage will be held on April 19th starting at 7 pm at Grounded Kitchen and Coffeehouse (http://www.groundedkitchencoffee.com/), located at 100 Gloucester St. in Ottawa.
This event is held in celebration of the beauty and creativity of artistic facets of brain research and mental health. We are interested in what people think of when they hear about the brain and mental health. The Brain & Mental Health Art Show is open to people of all ages, education and employment, and is intended to inspire people to be creative while learning something about the brain. The Society for Neuroscience – Ottawa Chapter is a collection of neuroscientists and students alike – encompassing Carleton University and various hospitals and research facilities in the National Capital. The Chapter facilitates collaborations, information transfer and accessibility to resources. As a sector of the Society for Neuroscience, an internationally renowned organization, we represent the Neuroscience research that takes place in the city and the various ways to project this information to the community.
As with last year, we will be donating all proceeds from the silent auction to a charity. This year we have chosen the Ottawa Crisis Line (http://www.crisisline.ca/). Please be sure to visit http://sfn-ottawa.ca/events/artshow.html to check for updates regarding the Art Show.
H’Art Studio has donated a painting to this charity.
