West End Studio Tour
The annual West End Studio Tour (WEST) is a pleasant walking, biking or driving Tour of art studios located just west of downtown Ottawa. In a neighbourhood known both as Ottawa’s “Arts District” and “Gastro Alley”. It is one of the longest-running studio tours in the region. Hailing back to 1994, the WEST has always been a free tour that is cooperatively organized and juried by the artists themselves.
The artist collective has evolved into a dynamic group who love their trade and warmly invite you to experience their latest creations and the unique environments that they create them in. The Tour is a rare opportunity for art-lovers to leave the echo of the gallery and, instead, visit spaces where artists use their inspiration to form various media into rich visual displays for your pleasure. With an ever-growing roster of talent in our community, you might be surprised to discover some of the creativity happening just steps away.
More information on the Tour and the artists participating available at westendstudiotour.com.
GCTC is pleased to host an exhibit for the 2025 West End Studio Tour in our Fritzi Gallery.
