Our new home is at the historic Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities in the heart of Ottawa's Byward Market. This spectacular heritage building was constructed by the same labourers who built Lowertown and the Rideau Canal. Opened as a church in 1890, Saint Brigid's features Tudor fan vaults with pendants, stunning murals, and period stained glass windows. This wonderful setting contributes to unique inspiration and dialogue with the world's leading imaginations.
